Greetings. First, I have a note to send along to STL Sports Central insider subscribers.
I’m sorry that I didn’t write a column on Tuesday. I love to work but the timing of the Brendan Donovan trade was a poor fit for my schedule. Usually I will drop everything and get to the keyboard to write, but that wasn’t possible yesterday because of some unexpected developments on what should have been a normal work day. But I have many thoughts on the Donovan trade, and though I did a video to talk about it on Tuesday morning, I had more to say, which I held back for the column that I couldn’t write. So I’ll just go with the “better late than never” philosophy here. But I also found some new (and pretty cool) things to add. Thank you for your patience and support.
That said, let's get into the column...
Understanding that the Cardinals are in the early stages of a full rebuild, I really liked the trade that transported Brendan Donovan to Seattle for a five-item bundle of prospects and draft picks.
