He would represent an upgrade at 3B for many teams.
The problem(s)?
Assuming you can somehow get past his NTC his $$ are too high.
If the Cards are desperate they’ll have to kick back more $$.

90 OPS+. .679 OPS. Crazy numbers he's putting up for the money. Tough sell.

Bregman could also opt out and be a FA again after 2025, though doubtful he will get more than $41M a year he's owed in 2026 and 2027.

Arenado's salary is coming down. $22M in 2026 (plus $5M added by the Rockies) and $15M in 2027.

But these other options are just better.

Hope the Yankees continue to butcher their infield defense and would want an upgrade at 3B defense AND that Nado accepts a trade.

Add McMahon to your list.
It is believed that he is available.
Better glove and bat than N/A - and has 2 years of control left at just 15M per.

Perfect analysis on my part - again.
McMahon, not Arenado, targeted by the Yankees and now moving east.

This looks to be the case, terrible body language and optics as well. Maybe thats why Colorado's package was so weak for him, PAYING us to take him. I know it's COL. and their franchise is in the dump now, but maybe they were right about Nado

Ray Charles could see this. What an unbelievable analysis and you had to quote yourself.
