It has been less than a year that we hear the possibility that Nolan Arenado is sent under others those than those of Saint-Louis.
The red birds almost concluded an agreement with the Astros of Houston, but there was a veto imposed by Arenado himself, despite the fact that the Texan training was on the list of teams for which the third goal player wanted to evolve.
Arenado had given the cardinals a list of five teams: Los Angeles Dodgers, New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox, Padres de San Diego and Astros, and he has been going to stick to the list since.
But things could change this winter. Indeed, according to Katie Woo of The Athletic, Arenado would be open to expand this list.
I think I have to be open. This is something I will discuss with my agent and my family. I think the discussion I will have with my agent is that the list will be different. However, it hurts to know that he probably won't have another chance with this organization.
The fact that Arenado agrees to expand his horizons will certainly help the cards to finally complete a barter, but the owners of the latter will certainly have to review their position on the Arenado contract.
To give the successor to John Mozeliak as president of the team's baseball operations, Chaim Bloom, the best chances of closer A deal, the group of owners must be ready to pay much more from the remaining portion of the Arenado contract, which is around 40 million dollars in the next two years.
It will remain to be seen which major baseball training will be on the list of teams for which Arenado will affix his seal. A file that will be followed closely in the coming months.
