Angels Viewed as Suitor for Nolan Arenado Pending Anthony Rendon Buyout

No deal is imminent, with the market waiting on free‑agent decisions by Alex Bregman and Eugenio Suárez.

Overview

  • Ken Rosenthal reports Los Angeles could pursue the Cardinals third baseman if Anaheim completes a buyout with Anthony Rendon.
  • Reports caution that nothing is close, and Arenado’s market should clarify after Bregman and Eugenio Suárez choose teams.
  • Arenado holds full no‑trade rights, so any move would require his consent, a decision that could be influenced by his Orange County roots.
  • St. Louis is reported to be willing to include cash to help move roughly $31 million owed on Arenado’s contract through 2027.
  • The 34‑year‑old is coming off a down year, posting 107 games with a .237 average, 12 home runs and 52 RBI.
