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

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.
