Exclusive News; Louis Cardinals top player Brendan Donovan, just flipped commitment to Chicago Cubs Over Chicago bulls, Chicago Blackhawks and Milwaukee Brewers…
As of May 1, 2025, there is no credible information or official announcement confirming that St. Louis Cardinals infielder Brendan Donovan has committed to the Chicago Cubs, Chicago Bulls, Chicago Blackhawks, or Milwaukee Brewers. All recent reports indicate that Donovan remains a key player for the Cardinals.
In February 2025, Donovan went to salary arbitration with the Cardinals, requesting a $3.3 million salary for the 2025 season, while the team offered $2.85 million. The arbitrators ruled in favor of the team’s offer, setting Donovan’s salary at $2.85 million for the year. Despite this, Donovan is expected to continue playing a significant role for the Cardinals.

Additionally, Donovan was added to the Cardinals’ 40-man roster in November 2024 to protect him from the Rule 5 Draft, further solidifying his position within the organization. (Brendan Donovan added to Cardinals 40-man roster)
Given the lack of credible sources reporting a commitment to another team, it is safe to conclude that the claim of Donovan flipping his commitment to the Cubs or any other team is unsubstantiated.
