Overview
- Multiple outlets, including The Athletic and MLB Trade Rumors, connect Los Angeles to the Cardinals third baseman as a potential trade target.
- Anthony Rendon's reported buyout leaves the Angels without an established option at third base, creating a clear roster need.
- Arenado retains full no-trade rights and previously used them to block a proposed deal to the Astros.
- With roughly two years and about $31 million remaining on his deal, his contract is viewed as easier to move than last offseason.
- Clubs are monitoring higher-profile options such as Alex Bregman and Eugenio Suárez, and some analysts suggest Angel Stadium could help revive Arenado's power output.
