Podcast appearances and mentions of brendan donovan

Bob and Lefko make their predictions for the biggest games of the NFL’s Wild Card weekend slate, they react to Demond Williams’ shocking return to UW, they hear what the other Seattle Sports hosts had to say about where the Seahawks are right now and some of the other Super Bowl favorites in the Best of the Rest, and they bring you some of the biggest stories around the MLB, including where the Mariners stand in the chase for Brendan Donovan. 

A discussion the Cardinals and a chilly Hot Stove eventually ignites with this completely unrelated question: How far into your list of the best players in the history of Major League Baseball do you get before mentioning Rickey Henderson? He's the all-time leader in runs, he's the greatest leadoff hitter in the game's history, and he almost lapped everyone but Lou Brock when it comes to career stolen bases.  The name of the game is scoring runs, and few (if any) did it better than Henderson. That's part of the discussion with Matt Snyder, CBS sports writer and author of the new book, "The Leadoff Man: The history of, the evolution of, and fun with the greatest catalyst in sports." (The book is available here.) In his book, Snyder chronicles the changing nature of the leadoff spot, from the speedy contact hitters of yore to the bashers and mashers of the modern game, from the tradition of putting infielder there regardless of their ability to get on base to the analytics of prioritizing the most at-bats for the player who makes the fewest outs. Henderson leads the way with a style of play that was both ahead of his peers and ahead of its time. At about the 23-minute mark, the conversation speeds from leading men to discussing the current offseason and the Cardinals' willingness to trade their leadoff man, Brendan Donovan. The Hot Stove has been sluggish, even stagnant. And that prompts an impromptu suggestion for how to spur deals during the winter meetings with tools already present in the current Collective Bargaining Agreement. No cap needed. Although talk about a cap is going to dominate the next 11 months, and that is where the podcast hurries toward its conclusion by describing how it's not the tycoon-like Dodgers that signal the lack of competitive balance and economic concerns about the game. The Cardinals could be the canary. To which, Snyder flips the question: How deep into a list of the most recognizable baseball teams does one get before naming the Cardinals?

Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals.  With the holidays in the rearview mirror and Winter Warmup directly ahead, Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) take stock of where the Cardinals are right now.  Was the Willson Contreras trade surprising?  How different would this winter be if John Mozeliak was still in charge?  Should the Cardinals hang on to Brendan Donovan?  Will they really keep Nolan Arenado if a trade doesn't materialize?  All this and much more!

The Cardinals offseason continues quietly, with not a ton of trade action ramping up. Rumors remain though, so is Nolan Arenado headed to the Angels? Is a Brendan Donovan trade guaranteed this offseason? Will the Cardinals move on from some more under-the-radar names this year like Matthew Liberatore?

Bernie Miklasz joins Tom Ackerman to break down Indiana's decisive win over Alabama in the College Football Playoff, pushing back on national narratives that leaned on brand names over data. Bernie explains why Indiana was elite by every meaningful metric, praises head coach Curt Cignetti, and calls out media for failing to adjust to the modern college football landscape shaped by NIL and the transfer portal. The conversation then pivots to the St. Louis Cardinals, where Bernie shares his expectations for the offseason, including the future of Nolan Arenado and why the organization should remain patient and firm on trade value for Brendan Donovan.

MLB Network studio host Greg Amsinger joins the show to preview the upcoming Amsinger Series: New Cardinals Baseball Era event on January 16 at Lindenwood University, featuring Oliver Marmol and Chaim Bloom. Amsinger reflects on his roots at KMOX and Lindenwood, his lifelong love of the Cardinals, and the state of the franchise heading into 2026. The conversation covers transparency and direction under Bloom, roster decisions involving Brendan Donovan, JoJo Romero, and Nolan Arenado, the long-term vision toward 2028, and the importance of building a young core around players like Masyn Winn, Alec Burleson, and Matthew Liberatore. Amsinger also explains why Cardinal Nation still matters in free agency and how a packed Busch Stadium can help shape the future of the franchise.

Happy New Year, Cardinal fans! We each present three predictions for the St. Louis Cardinals in the 2026 season. Will they trade Brendan Donovan or hold him into the season? Will JJ Wetherholt make the Opening Day roster and win Rookie of the Year Honors? Join us as we preview the upcoming year of Cardinals baseball.

The Brendan Donovan trade saga takes center stage as the Cardinals slow-play their best asset, hoping to turn patience into a real prospect haul while the market shifts around them. We break down why Contreras moved first, how Arizona's Ketel Marte situation could reshape Donovan's value, and where teams like the Mariners, Giants, and Red Sox fit in. Plus, the Arenado market remains frozen as St. Louis waits on bigger dominoes to fall, the offseason clock keeps ticking toward Spring Training, and league news includes Anthony Rendon's Angels exit, a long-term deal in Oakland, and Team USA loading up for the WBC.Have a question or comment for the show?

From 'Play Tessie' (subscribe here): Days have passed for Gordo, Sammy, and Pat to give more thought to the Red Sox acquiring Willson Contreras from the Cardinals. How will Contreras perform at Fenway Park this season and what's causing the initial negative feelings from the fellas about the deal? Then, Contreras takes up a spot at first base and designated hitter meaning things might be a little murky for Triston Casas and Masataka Yoshida. And, making another deal with St. Louis for Brendan Donovan would seem like a big mistake considering the fit and the price it'll take.

There should be ballads written about Willson Contreras' brief time with the Cardinals. From his arrival as the All-Star eager for the challenge of following Yadier Molina, to that weird week when he took fly balls in left field and stopped catching, to the injuries and fractures and ultimately his move to first base, out from behind home plate without skipping a beat at the plate. Contreras brought both joy and fury to the Cardinals' lineup and clubhouse, and at some point his absence will be felt by the teammates who remain. But he won't be a alone. In a brand new Best Podcast in Baseball, recorded on Christmas Eve, Post-Dispatch editor Nathan Mills and baseball writer Derrick Goold discuss the Cardinals' counterintuitive shopping list for the holidays and what is missing from it and possibly from the clubhouse during his reboot of an organization. The Cardinals traded a starter (Sonny Gray) only to sign a starter (Dustin May) a few weeks later; they traded a right-handed bat from the middle of the order (Contreras) only to suggest a few hours later that they would now look for a right-handed bat to add to the roster. The Cardinals are swapping All-Stars for pitching depth and then looking to replace those veterans with players on shorter-term deals or with more control and less cost. What's missing from those moves is the leadership and experience that the Cardinals have long championed as part of their continuity, as part of their identity as a club. And more trades ahead could mean the departure of Brendan Donovan, who personifies the way the Cardinals like to play and be in the clubhouse; JoJo Romreo, the seasoned reliever in the bullpen; and Nolan Arenado, the future Hall of Famer and Gold Glove-cornerstone at third.  Mills and Goold discuss what happens when a young group of players isn't inheriting expectations but tasked with trying to grow them.

Brady is back on a Monday night, talking about the Mariners' signing of Rob Refsnyder and what it means for the lineup - and the rest of the roster.Also, are the M's still in on Brendan Donovan? How about a reunion with Eugenio Suarez? Which current players are in jeopardy of not being on the roster?And we are getting closer to the M's not needing to send any American pitchers to the WBC, but that's not official yet.

Lyle opens up the show by reacting to the Cardinals trading Willson Contreras to the Red Sox and what that could mean for the Mariners and a Brendan Donovan trade, along with a potential Ketel Marte trade and the idea of bringing back Eugenio Suarez. Then, they re-air their conversation with Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald to hear all of his insight after the Thursday night win over the Rams.

Bernie Miklasz joins Tom Ackerman to break down St. Louis Cardinals trade rumors, including strong interest in Brendan Donovan and JoJo Romero, the complications surrounding Willson Contreras and his no trade clause, and how Nolan Arenado fits into a separate category. They also discuss the Los Angeles Dodgers interest in Lars Nootbaar and how his rehab progress impacts trade value, along with overall market timing and Chaim Bloom taking a patient approach. The conversation shifts to Missouri Tigers football and the hiring of Chip Lindsey as offensive coordinator, what it says about Eli Drinkwitz, and a look around the College Football Playoff. Bernie gives his take on Indiana Hoosiers, Ohio State Buckeyes, Georgia Bulldogs, Texas Longhorns, Miami Hurricanes, and Alabama Crimson Tide heading into the Rose Bowl and the Dec 31 to Jan 1 slate.

St. Louis Cardinals President of Baseball Operations Chaim Bloom joins Tom Ackerman to discuss the acquisition of Dustin May, including his injury history, recovery, and upside on a one year deal with a mutual option. Bloom explains the appeal of targeting younger free agents and why adding pitching depth to both the rotation and bullpen remains a top offseason priority.

More Post-Dispatch podcasts.  Please consider subscribing. As the Cardinals have retreated from annual October appearances they have also faded from the national spotlight. They haven't been historically bad. They haven't been as good as their recent history. Jordan Shusterman, senior writer at Yahoo! Sports and host of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, begins a converation on a brand new Best Podcast in Baseball there: Their absence from the national conversation and what will get them back. The answer, of course, is identifying what current players must be a part of the next contending core. That drives this new episode of the long-running Cardinals podcast. When Shusterman joined BPIB and host Derrick Goold for this recording, he entered his name as "#1 Jimmy Crooks Fan," and that fondness for the Cardinals' left-handed hitting catching prospect came up as the two baseball writers tracked the list of teams that have missed the postseason in the same years as the Cardinals. One of those teams -- the San Francisco Giants -- is not only the subject of a forthcoming article by Shusterman but also one of the teams interested in the Cardinals' Brendan Donovan and also a team that shares a standout trait with the Cardinals. Both clubs featured Hall of Fame caliber catchers as their cornerstones and have faded in the years since Buster Posey and Yadier Molina retired. The podcast also includes a discussion on sleeper picks for the future core and how lefty Liam Doyle, the Cardinals' first-round pick in the recent draft, could wake up the ballpark with his debut and personality, if the performance is there to match. He's compared to a closer, just at the start of the game. Plus, did Cardinals' fatigue contribute to the Cardinals' drift out of the national headlines?

Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals.  It might be cold outside but the Cardinals are looking to spring, flipping the calendar to (Dustin) May.  Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) talk about the latest addition to the club and why it feels like a breath of fresh air even if it doesn't pan out.  The guys also discuss the Rule 5 addition, the drop in the draft lottery pick, and the Brendan Donovan rumors.  Come listen in on maybe the last Gateway of the year!

Lyle and TJ react to Jorge Polanco signing with the Mets, and whether or not it was a good idea for the Mariners to match that price (2:30). They then discuss the Mariners being one of the two teams in discussion to acquire Brendan Donovan, and if that pivot is enough (13:35).Merchandise, event schedule, and more: marinelayerpod.comEmail us: marinelayerpod@gmail.comCheck out Just Baseball: Click hereFollow the show on Twitter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@marinelayerpod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Find us on YouTube: Click hereFind us on TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@marinelayerpod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Find us on all Podcast Platforms: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/MarineLayerPod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow TJ on Twitter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@tjmathewson⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Lyle on Twitter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@lyle_goldsteinAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

More Post-Dispatch podcasts.  Please consider subscribing. Back from Orlando, Florida, and the annual Winter Meetings and into the chill of St. Louis, Post-Dispatch baseball writer Derrick Goold shares with editor Nathan Mills what he learned about the Cardinals stoking the hot stove for a busy few weeks heading toward the holidays. The Cardinals gave a glimpse into their enhanced scouting staff and expanded view of the marketplace as well as revealed how they may look to add the same roles they've been looking to trade and what traits they're seeking in the pitchers they continue to collect. The Brendan Donovan market is so strong that other teams are wondering what they can get for their infielders. The Willson Contreras market is starting to take shape, but will it matter if he won't accept a trade? And the Nolan Arenado market is going to be slower to develop. All of that, plus Mills sternly rebukes Goold's suggestion that the Dodgers go ahead and get it over and just trade for Mr. and Mrs. Met already and complete the Edwin Diaz trumpet-blaring entry into the ninth inning. There is also an unexpected power ranking of mascots. In its 13th season as one of the first and most widely heard podcasts on baseball and the Cardinals, the Best Podcast in Baseball has reached a new season-high with 30 episodes. Each episode is sponsored weekly by Closets by Design of St. Louis, is a production of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, StlToday.com, and lead baseball writer Derrick Goold.

We're talking Cardinals news as St. Louis grabs Zak Kent off waivers, weighs growing trade interest in Brendan Donovan, drops in the 2026 draft lottery, and continues exploring a 2026 role for Yadi. Then we dive into Jordan Walker's big Driveline overhaul and what Fangraphs sees as the path to unlocking his elite raw power. Plus: all the latest league chaos — massive contracts for Schwarber and Alonso, Edwin Díaz to the Dodgers, a flurry of trades across MLB, and Jeff Kent heading to Cooperstown.Have a question or comment for the show?

The Seahawks defense has been top tier this season, Wyman & Bob go through answering if there is anything left that we need to see out of them. How much does the Seahawks success speak to Mike Macodnalds system and John Schneider’s roster construction? // Take Two: The Colts have signed Phillip Rivers to their practice squad, if he is activated, his Hall of Fame clock would reset. Edwin Diaz has signed to the Dodgers and Kyle Schwarber is going back to the Phillies. // What will the Mariners do about their open spot at second base? Wyman & Bob go through the options of Jorge Polanco, Ketel Marte, and Brendan Donovan. // Jalen Hurts had one of his worst performances with 4 interceptions and a fumble in their loss to the Chargers. Are we seeing the poor team chemistry take over as the Eagles have lost three games in a row? The Raiders, Giants, and Titans are tied for worst team in the NFL. 

More Post-Dispatch podcasts.  Please consider subscribing. From the start of the offseason and the beginning for a new front officer leader, the Cardinals have signaled their priority this winter is to accumulate talent that will help them contend in the future. They began that process by trading Sonny Gray and $20 million to the Boston Red Sox for a pair of pitching prospects, Richard Fitts and Brandon Clarke, and now the Cardinals' pursuit continues with the arrival of MLB's biggest gathering of the Hot Stove season. The Winter Meetings are coming. To discuss the Cardinals' to-do list for the Winter Meetings, KMOX/104.1 FM's Kevin Wheeler rejoins the Best Podcast in Baseball. He and BPIB host Derrick Goold discuss the Cardinals' search to trade Nolan Arenado and what happens if another winter passes without a deal; which of the players nearing free agency, such as Brendan Donovan and JoJo Romero, will help the Cardinals achieve their goal of accumulating young talent; and what does a contract extension look like for manager Oli Marmol. The significant National Baseball Hall of Fame vote set for Dec. 7 is also discussed. This is the first of two episodes because what started as a short conversation spilled into a heated debate about, oh, just the future economic structure of baseball. Look for that bonus BPIB shortly.
