If he is willing to waive his no-trade clause, it seems like his days with the team could be numbered. The Cardinals certainly have loved having him, but a rebuild is on the way and trading Arenado for prospects could help expedite the process.
One team that has a fantastic farm system and the need for right-handed help in the lineup is the Boston Red Sox. Because of this, MassLive.com’s Christopher Smith floated the Red Sox as a surprising option for Arenadoht.
“Move around significant pieces to acquire St. Louis’ Nolan Arenado,” Smith said. “It certainly would be bold if (Craig Breslow) traded Triston Casas, moved Rafael Devers to first base, and traded for Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado who would vastly improve the infield defense alongside his former Rockies teammate, shortstop Trevor Story. Arenado also would provide another right-handed hitter in a lineup that struggled against lefties last year.”
