Red Sox Emerge As Strong Candidate To Land Nolan Arenado
According to a source, the Boston Red Sox have emerged as a strong candidate to land third baseman Nolan Arenado in a trade with the St. Louis Cardinals this offseason. It comes as Boston could be close to abandoning their efforts for free-agent third baseman Alex Bregman, who could command a deal worth $200 million on the open market. Arenado is owed $74 million over the next three years and has a full no-trade clause, but he's informed the Cardinals he's willing to waive it to go to Fenway Park, a place that could help him get some of his power back. Arenado already blocked a potential trade to the Houston Astros this winter. Boston shortstop Trevor Story, who played with Arenado from 2016-20 in Colorado, has been selling Arenado on Boston in recent weeks. If a deal is to happen, St. Louis might need to eat more money than they'd like while also potentially getting first baseman Triston Casas in return.
