You’re Gonna Hate A Donovan Deal

[Nsowell3]

Not a firm believer in Future Values. (See Michael Harris January 2023 (178.3) and now (5.4) One good year, sign a long term contract, mediocre since. Guess they should have traded him right then. Or others at there highest values, Jo Adell, our own Carlson, Noot, Gorman & Walker amongst others. Like WAR, a whole lot of opinions built in

That said, over the last month, the following are Donovan proposals in MLB Trade values over the last month.

Note: I have pared a couple down of throw-ins on both side, so basically value for value.

Angels
Donovan for Klassen and Tyler Bremner

Mariners
Donovan, Lars, (NA &20large) for Kade Anderson (Basically Nolan and cash nullify each other, so basically Brendan and Lars for this year’s 3rd overall pick.

Mariners
Donovan for Bryce Miller and Ryan Stone.

Reds
Donovan for Nick Lodolo

Red Sox
Donovan for Wilyer Abreu


Edited for punctuation error.

I’m all over this Bryce Miller and Ryan Sloan deal. I’d probably ask for Woo first with a small adder on our side, but this would be an awesome compromise. Sloan has great potential. Miller was a borderline front line starter in 2024, with injury concerns in 2025 that would make him an appealing buy low.
