The St. Louis Cardinals are busy ahead of the MLB trade deadline. Here are the new rumors, from John Mozeliak's pre-retirement role to Brendan Donovan's future.

Left-handed power bat Brendan Donovan is in his fourth season with the St. Louis Cardinals after making his MLB debut in 2022. The 28-year-old has carved out a role as a versatile utility player, capable of handling multiple positions while providing a steady left-handed presence in the lineup.

The St. Louis Cardinals are still open to moving Brendan Donovan with the MLB trade deadline coming up this week.

The 2025 MLB trade deadline is Thursday at 6 p.m. ET. If last year is anything to judge by, Wednesday and Thursday are going to be chaotic, with several teams making last-minute decisions on whether to be buyers, sellers or some hybrid combination of the two.

Yankees and Astros eye Cardinals' Brendan Donovan as MLB Trade Deadline nears, with the versatile All-Star emerging as a top trade target.

Major League Baseball's trade deadline is scheduled for next Thursday, which means teams have less than a week to get their midsummer shopping done. The moves have already started, as the Mariners recently acquired Josh Naylor from the Diamondbacks while the Yankees acquired Ryan McMahon in a trade with the Rockies .
