Outfielder Colton Ledbetter was traded from the Rays to the Cardinals in the three-team Brendan Donovan deal.

Ledbetter, who turned 24 in November, hit .265/.337/.378 with seven homers and 37 steals in his first season in Double-A last year. He showed more power in 2024, finishing with 16 homers and a .484 slugging percentage in High-, and he’ll need that to come back in order to have a realistic chance of landing a gig as a platoon guy against righties in the majors. The Cardinals figure to put him in Triple-A this year.
