On Monday Josh Donaldson signed a deal with the Atlanta Braves for one-year of service in exchange for $23 million. Many Cardinals fans, for years really, had looked at Donaldson as a viable option to improve the club. Alas, it was not meant to be. The Cardinals did reach out to Donaldson, though, per Mark Saxon of The Athletic:

I'm told that while the #STLCards did speak with Josh Donaldson's agent, they felt they were dealing with "headwinds" all along given Donaldson's southern roots and familiarity with Atlanta's front office and training staff
