Nolan Arenado Expands Trade Options Beyond Red Sox
The Cardinals' third baseman is reportedly open to waiving his no-trade clause for additional teams as his market faces challenges.
- Nolan Arenado, previously focused on joining the Boston Red Sox, is now reportedly open to considering trades to other teams, including the Detroit Tigers and Seattle Mariners.
- The Cardinals are struggling to find a trade partner due to Arenado's declining performance, his remaining $52 million salary, and his full no-trade clause.
- Arenado's market is further complicated by the availability of free-agent Alex Bregman, whose delayed signing has slowed trade discussions.
- The Boston Red Sox remain a leading potential destination, but their pursuit of Bregman could influence their decision on Arenado.
- St. Louis may need to package Arenado with other assets or absorb part of his salary to facilitate a trade that aligns with their rebuilding goals.
