All had been quiet as of late when it came to the Boston Red Sox possibly trading for St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado.<\/p>\n
But it appears the chatter between the two teams has picked up again.<\/p>\n
MLB Network\u2019s Jon Morosi, who cited sources,\u00a0reported Tuesday<\/a>\u00a0that the \u201cRed Sox and Cardinals have had recent communication about Nolan Arenado.\u201d<\/p>\n Arenado has been linked to the Red Sox throughout the offseason as the 33-year-old third baseman wants out of St. Louis. Arenado\u00a0reportedly blocked a trade<\/a>\u00a0to the Houston Astros in the middle of December and it was reported that the eight-time All-Star and 10-time Gold Glove winner views the Red Sox as\u00a0his \u201cpreferred destination<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n Arenado certainly would fill a need for Boston. Morosi\u2019s report comes a day after Red Sox president and CEO Sam Kennedy told reporters the franchise\u00a0still eagerly wants to acquire<\/a>\u00a0a right-handed bat.<\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s still a goal. It has been since the beginning,\u201d Kennedy said,\u00a0per MassLive\u2019s Chris Cotillo<\/a>. \u201cObviously with Vaughn (Grissom) and Trevor (Story) hopefully coming into spring training healthy, we feel better about the more balanced nature of the lineup. But if we can add a right-handed bat, we would love to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n Morosi noted that Cardinals president of baseball operations Chaim Bloom, who served in that role for the Red Sox for four seasons, has integral knowledge of Boston\u2019s farm system, which could help facilitate a trade. The Cardinals reportedly would take on a chunk of Arenado\u2019s salary, too, as he\u2019s owed $74 million over the next three seasons.<\/p>\n
Arenado\u2019s production dipped this past season after hitting 26 home runs and collecting 93 RBIs in 2023. Arenado batted .272 with 16 homers and 72 RBIs, which were his lowest full-season totals in a decade. But perhaps making a home at Fenway Park could revitalize his impactful right-handed swing.<\/p>\n
If the Red Sox do end up landing Arenado, it would presumably take them out of the running for Alex Bregman, who continues to have\u00a0rumors swirl around him<\/a>\u00a0as he remains on the free agent market.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":""BREAKING: Crucial New Detail Emerges in Red Sox\u2019s Potential Chase for Nolan Arenado!" - 24\/7 News America<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/usatoday.azontree.com\/?p=23601\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\""BREAKING: Crucial New Detail Emerges in Red Sox\u2019s Potential Chase for Nolan Arenado!" - 24\/7 News America\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"All had been quiet as of late when it came to the Boston Red Sox possibly trading for St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado.
