Breaking: Arenado Remains a Phillies Target: Nolen Arenado Vetoes Trade to AL Contender, Phillies Still in the…
The Philadelphia Phillies need to make a move.
After a quiet early portion of the offseason that carried through the Winter Meetings, true game changing options are starting to become limited.
And with their supposed lack of interest in star third baseman Alex Bregman, that shrinks the candidate pool down even further as the Phillies look for the missing pieces to get them into the World Series-winning circle.
Someone who could be an option is Nolan Arenado.
The eight-time All-Star is being shopped by the St. Louis Cardinals this offseason as they begin a rebuilding process.
Philadelphia was reportedly on his list of suitors he would waive his no-trade clause for, and based on the latest report coming out regarding Arenado, that is a good thing if Dave Dombrowski is interested in acquiring the future Hall of Famer.
Per insiders at MLB.com, Arenado vetoed a deal that would have shipped him to the Houston Astros.
“According to sources, the Astros and Cardinals were in discussions on a potential trade involving the third baseman, but Arenado informed St. Louis that he will not waive his no-trade clause to go to Houston,” they reported.
