A breakout season with defensive versatility has suitors weighing cost against unclear years of control.

Overview

  • MLB Network's Jon Morosi reports Brendan Donovan is a highly sought-after offseason trade candidate with multiple teams inquiring.
  • Reported fits include the Dodgers, Mets, Yankees, Phillies and Astros, with the Dodgers and New York clubs cited as especially engaged.
  • Donovan earned his first All-Star selection in 2025 after hitting .287 with 10 home runs and 50 RBIs in 118 games.
  • The 28-year-old has a Gold Glove from 2022 and experience across infield and outfield positions, boosting his market appeal.
