## Resource

The Mariners gambled big on Brendan Donovan, trading top prospects for a player they desperately needed at third base — but so far, he’s been more often on the bench than in the lineup. While Donovan’s potential is real, his inconsistency is exposing the steep cost of the deal. Meanwhile, the players they sent away are thriving — especially Ben Williamson, who’s already making highlight reels — and a hidden gem, Tai Peete, is showing serious power in the minors. The Mariners’ fate hinges on Donovan’s health: if he stays healthy and productive, the trade pays off. But if he continues to miss time while the prospects flourish, the deal could turn into a regrettable misstep — forcing the team to tread carefully as the deadline looms.
