Dodgers Nation\u2019s Doug McKain spoke with Cardinals beat writer, John Denton, about his insight on the 10-time Gold Glove winner\u2019s wish this holiday season.<\/p>\n<p>Denton believes the Dodgers have interest in Arenado, but haven\u2019t publicly said so. He also provides context behind Arenado nixing a trade to Houston.<\/p>\n<p>Since then, there has been speculation that the Dodgers will strike a trade with the St. Louis Cardinals to acquire Arenado. The rumors quickly spread, and inevitably, Dodgers starting third baseman\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dodgersnation.com\/player\/max-muncy\/\">Max Muncy<\/a> even had to address the Arenado trade buzz.\u00a0<span id=\"ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-621\" class=\"ezoic-adpicker-ad\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs long as I get to stay around, I don\u2019t care who they bring in,\u201d Muncy said. \u201cI think Andrew (Friedman) and Brandon (Gomes) know my stance on that extremely well. I\u2019ve never been one that said \u2018No, I\u2019m not going to play this position, I\u2019m not going to play that position. I\u2019m not going to bat in this spot in the order.\u2019 I don\u2019t care. As long as you put me out there, I\u2019ll play wherever they want to put me. As long as it means I\u2019m out there on that field wearing Dodger blue, playing in that stadium. You\u2019re talking about arguably the best defensive third baseman if you look at his numbers. I can see why it would be appealing. To me, it doesn\u2019t matter. I just want to be there and help the team win.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As the Dodgers try to build another World Series-winning roster, Muncy is prepared to move around if Arenado arrives in Los Angeles. Earlier this week, Arenado declined a trade to the Houston Astros.<\/p>\n<p>To listen to McKain\u2019s conversation with Denton, watch the full video\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/wPwM0qqOa-I?feature=shared\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Los Angeles Dodgers and\u00a0Nolan Arenado have been linked ever since the All-Star third baseman posted a series of photos on Instagram with the song \u201cdodger blue\u201d&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13547","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.8 -
