Angels Viewed as Potential Landing Spot for CardinalsNolan Arenado

Progress depends on the Angels resolving Anthony Rendon’s contract.

Overview

  • The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal reports Arenado is a possibility for the Angels if they complete a buyout with Anthony Rendon, while emphasizing no trade is imminent.
  • Arenado’s market is expected to clarify after free agents Alex Bregman and Eugenio Suárez sign.
  • The Cardinals are motivated to move the veteran and could include cash in a deal, but Arenado holds a full no-trade clause.
  • Arenado, 34, is owed about $31 million through 2027 and is coming off a 2025 season with 107 games played, a .237 average, 12 home runs and 52 RBI.
  • The Angels are negotiating a buyout with Rendon, who did not appear in a game in 2025, potentially opening third base for an acquisition.
