• Early 2026 trade chatter linked Donovan to several potential suitors as teams assessed market dynamics at second base, including discussions around the Giants and other big-market teams. However, concrete deal terms or completion of a trade had not been announced at that point.[6]
• In April 2026, several outlets noted Donovan’s presence in trade speculation as teams evaluated the value of a versatile, high-upside infielder/outfielder, with varying reports on fit and timing for a possible transaction. No definitive move had been confirmed publicly.[2][5]
