Summary

Story summary

The New York Yankees are weighing a trade for Brendan Donovan of the St. Louis Cardinals to strengthen their lineup.
Donovan's high on-base percentage (.361) and tough at-bats could help the Yankees challenge pitchers, especially if Trent Grisham leaves in free agency.
His defensive fit is uncertain, with limited experience at third base and left field, and Jazz Chisholm Jr.'s strong second-base defense complicating Donovan's potential role.
