This Is The Week To Trade Arenado

[sikeston bulldog2]

Yeah, those are fair points. I'd be fine with just keeping him as a veteran presence and gold glove defender. I just feel like we've sailed the ship in this relationship so he almost has to be moved at this point. We shall see.

Oh I agree on that point. He’s certainly not in future plans. But it’s still a business. I believe they trade him to a pitcher heavy team valuing defense.

It might be convenient for us but the dance takes two. Possible suitors (if any exist) might want to shake out alternative options. I'm pretty sure Bloom has Nados bags packed and all it takes is a phone call that doesn't take too much cash going with him.

Gray was traded on a Tuesday.
maybe big trade tomorrow, that being Tuesday.

Thought Tuesdays were for Taco Tuesdays ... now you want to claim Tuesday for Arenado trade... Trade Tuesdays we could label them ... Great idea !

Guessing a few teams are waiting to see where Bregman and Suarez wish to go before they jump into Arenado. As last year, I guess if Bregman does not return to Boston they could have interest in Nado. Bloom may know that already . Doesn't mean though that he has to wait for them .

yeah, the 3B market needs to sort itself out before Nado is moved. I'm not saying he won't be traded this week, I'm just agreeing with you that that's not an advantageous position we're in right now.

It was great trade at the time. The players didn't perform in the postseason in 2021 and 2022. Tough contract to move...we knew that, but we still applauded the trade in 2020.

This is Deja vu folks. Nothing happens with Arenado until Bergman signs. And now, Suarez too

I don't think it has to be that way. There are teams looking for a third baseman who are not trying to sign Bregman or Suarez and don't need to wait. Examples of this would be Arizona, the Angels, the Athletics, and maybe even Seattle.

I suppose that is true since Arenado supposedly is increasing the number of teams. Him agreeing to go to Oakland would be wild.

Their minor league park might inflate his offensive numbers to look very presentable. (and the Hall of Fame loves counting stats)

If Bloom does find a team where the two sides agree on the $$$ that Cardinals will cough up , my thoughts are the return will be quite limited.
Bloom is not in position to get much of value as the other team knows they have Cardinals over a barrel on this deal.

Think about it .. Is Bloom going to turn a deal down because he can't get the prospect he wishes ? I highly doubt it .

The biggest issue is STILL finding a partner that Arenado will accept a trade to. He’s not going to approve a deal to a team in the same, or even worse, situation than the Cardinals. He’s not going to approve a deal just to get out of STL or just to “help” the team.
