He wants to wait and see what his best options are. I think we all know, we all understand \u2014 Nolan Arenado wants to be told \u2018No\u2019 by the Dodgers,\u201d\u00a0Denton said on ESPN Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s his first choice, that\u2019s where he still wants to go.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition to Arenado wanting to join the Dodgers, Denton says L.A. is interested in the Gold Glove third baseman, despite them saying otherwise.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Dodgers have kind of downplayed their interest in him, they\u2019ve mentioned how Max Muncy will be on the roster to start the season. Don\u2019t be snookered by that. The Dodgers still want Nolan Arenado,\u201d Denton said. \u201cThey still have interest in him. But if they talk it down and act like they\u2019re not that interested, they might be able to get out from under some of the money.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this month, baseball fans were sent into a frenzy after\u00a0Arenado posted a series of photos on Instagram along with Kendrick Lamar\u2019s song \u201cdodger blue.\u201d\u00a0Many speculated Arenado was hinting toward his preferred trade destination this season.<\/p>\n<div class=\"stream-item stream-item-in-post stream-item-inline-post aligncenter\">\n<div class=\"stream-item-size\">\n<p>Furthermore, Arenado, 34, has expressed his hope to play meaningful October baseball.<\/p>\n<p>While it\u2019s abundantly clear Arenado hopes to join the reigning World Series champions, are the Dodgers legitimately considering adding the 10-time Gold Glove winner to the roster?<\/p>\n<div class=\"c-scrollbar__hider\" role=\"presentation\" data-qa=\"slack_kit_scrollbar\">\n<div class=\"c-scrollbar__child\" role=\"presentation\">\n<div class=\"c-virtual_list__scroll_container\" role=\"list\" data-qa=\"slack_kit_list\" aria-label=\"Noah Camras (direct message, active)\">\n<div id=\"1734638465.751369\" class=\"c-virtual_list__item\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"listitem\" aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-qa=\"virtual-list-item\" data-item-key=\"1734638465.751369\">\n<div class=\"c-message_kit__background c-message_kit__background--hovered p-message_pane_message__message c-message_kit__message p-message_pane_message__message--last\" role=\"presentation\" data-qa=\"message_container\" data-qa-unprocessed=\"false\" data-qa-placeholder=\"false\">\n<div class=\"c-message_kit__hover c-message_kit__hover--hovered\" role=\"document\" aria-roledescription=\"message\" data-qa-hover=\"true\">\n<div class=\"c-message_kit__actions c-message_kit__actions--above\">\n<div class=\"c-message_kit__gutter\">\n<div class=\"c-message_kit__gutter__right\" role=\"presentation\" data-qa=\"message_content\">\n<div class=\"c-message_kit__blocks c-message_kit__blocks--rich_text\">\n<div class=\"c-message__message_blocks c-message__message_blocks--rich_text\" data-qa=\"message-text\">\n<div class=\"p-block_kit_renderer\" data-qa=\"block-kit-renderer\">\n<div class=\"p-block_kit_renderer__block_wrapper p-block_kit_renderer__block_wrapper--first\">\n<div class=\"p-rich_text_block\" dir=\"auto\">\n<div class=\"p-rich_text_section\">\u201cI think it\u2019s strong,\u201d Denton said of the Dodgers\u2019 interest. \u201cThey know that Nolan would like to be there.
