Nolan Arenado (St. Louis) is finally expected to enter the trade market. 스포츠토토
St. Louis Post-Dispatch’s Derek Gould recently said that the St. Louis team has begun to fiddle with Arenado’s trade card.
Gould said that although Arenado has the right to veto trade, St. Louis is exploring the possibility of making a trade with him. He means that he will trade if he gets the right card.
Gould said there is a possibility that Arenado will not exercise its trade veto.
The Dodgers attempted to recruit Arenado whenever they had the opportunity. It attempted to recruit Arenado, who became an FA after the 2019 season, but Arenado signed an eight-year contract extension with the Colorado Rockies.
He was then able to sign Arenado before the 2021 season, but at this time, the Colorado owner sent him to St. Louis, saying he could not give it to a rival team in the same district.
Then, in 2023, trade negotiations with St. Louis were unsuccessful. At the time, St. Louis baseball operations president John Mozeliak said, “I told Arenado I wasn’t trading, and I didn’t even ask him to give up the trade ban.”
“At the moment, we are working on future success,” he added.
Mozeliak seems to have decided to give up Arenado.
Arenado hit 16 home runs and 71 RBIs in a .272 batting average in the 2024 season.
Arenado, who turns 34 in April next year, hit 341 home runs in his 12 years in the big leagues.
Arenado has a three-year, $74 million salary left.
Attention is focusing on whether the Dodgers will also seek to recruit Arena this time.
