Arenado may not nix a trade to any team Bloom can get for a deal

[ramfandan]

The statement, reported by baseball columnist Bob Nightingale (often referred to simply as "Nightingale"), suggests that Nolan Arenado may be willing to waive his full no-trade clause for essentially any team that the St. Louis Cardinals are able to negotiate with.
This indicates a significant shift in his previous stance.

Actually , his proclamation may not be as outlandish as it sounds . If one thinks about it , a very poor team even with Cardinals paying for a good chunk of his remaining $$ would most likely not be interested in Arenado so the teams that are possibilites are either playoff teams right now or quite likely a team knocking on the door and hope that Arenado can get them into a wildcard spot , etc.

We will stay tuned. The GM meetings began today in Las Vegas and Bloom will get more clarity on what other GM's have interest in Arenado.
Wouldn't surprise me that once a team shows interest that a deal could be forthcoming sooner rather than later. Bloom has other players to move this winter.

It's too bad he didn't consent to be traded last year when he was coming off a much better 2024 than his 2025 season.

Part of it must be Arenado's acceptance of his own talents being in a different place this time than a year ago. I think a deal will be found, and I don't think the return would have been prolific last year anyway. Will be interesting to see what we get.

If this is a rebuild then give Saggese the at bats. Arenado is only blocking 3B for a young guy at this stage.

unfortunately, he, like all us, cannot foresee the future
