Angels Emerge as Possible Trade Destination for Nolan Arenado

No deal is close, with clarity expected after Alex Bregman and Eugenio Suárez choose destinations.

Overview

  • Ken Rosenthal reports the Angels are a possibility for the Cardinals third baseman as Los Angeles negotiates a buyout with Anthony Rendon.
  • Coverage indicates St. Louis could include cash to facilitate a move, with roughly $31 million owed to Arenado through 2027.
  • Arenado holds full no-trade rights, adding a layer of control over any potential destination.
  • The 10-time Gold Glove winner was limited to 107 games in 2025 and hit a career-low .237 with 12 home runs and 52 RBI.
  • Analysts note the Angels’ thin farm system could steer any deal toward taking on salary rather than parting with top prospects.
