They\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/clutchpoints.com\/cardinals-chaim-bloom-set-to-lead-st-louis-rebuild\">hired Chaim Bloom<\/a>\u00a0to set up their minor league scouting department, signifying a change in organizational direction. A personnel move that could do the same thing is a trade of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/clutchpoints.com\/mlb\/players\/bd280a1f\/nolan-arenado\">Nolan Arenado<\/a>. The third baseman has been at the forefront of trade rumors this offseason and things are heating up, with the Yankees and Dodgers in the hunt. NJ.com&#8217;s Randy Miller<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mlb.com\/news\/mlb-rumors-trades-and-signings?t=trades-and-transactions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u00a0reported the latest<\/a>\u00a0on WFAN Sports Radio in New York.<\/p>\n<div class=\"aspect-video w-full\">\n<div class=\"not-prose flex aspect-video w-full items-center justify-center\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>One guy that could be a possibility [for the Yankees] is Arenado from St. Louis,\u201d Miller said, per MLB.com. \u201cI think the Cardinals are trying to trade him, St. Louis would have to pick up some of the money and maybe the Yankees could have a deal where they trade some prospects.<\/p>\n<div id=\"AdThrive_Content_1_desktop\" class=\"adthrive-ad adthrive-sticky-container adthrive-content adthrive-content-1 adthrive-ad-cls\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/18190176,120193976\/AdThrive_Content_1\/5e90daf19f500876e949a3d9_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"google-ad-manager-fallback-container\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Miller continued, \u201cI keep hearing it&#8217;s going to be either the Yankees or the Dodgers \u2014 I think he&#8217;s a West Coast guy that would prefer to go to the Dodgers and I think the Dodgers want him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Yankees could use the surehanded infielder, as they struggled on defense all of 2024. Jazz Chisholm was solid at the hot corner but his natural position is second base. Arenado would be a welcomed addition to the Bronx.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the Dodgers already have a logjam in the infield. With Freddie Freeman at first and Shohei Ohtani at DH, Max Muncy has been playing third and improved at the position. Someone would have to find a new position if this move went down.<\/p>\n<div id=\"AdThrive_Content_2_desktop\" class=\"adthrive-ad adthrive-sticky-container adthrive-content adthrive-content-2 adthrive-ad-cls\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/18190176,120193976\/AdThrive_Content_2\/5e90daf19f500876e949a3d9_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"google-ad-manager-fallback-container\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2><strong>Best fits for Nolan Arenado\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3147655\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3147655\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3147655\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Nolan-Arenado-with-STL-Cardinals.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Nolan-Arenado-with-STL-Cardinals.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Nolan-Arenado-with-STL-Cardinals.jpg?resize=300,169 300w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Nolan-Arenado-with-STL-Cardinals.jpg?resize=768,432 768w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Nolan-Arenado-with-STL-Cardinals.jpg?resize=1024,576 1024w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Nolan-Arenado-with-STL-Cardinals.jpg?resize=150,84 150w\" alt=\"St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado (28) hits a double against the San Francisco Giants during the fourth inning at Oracle Park\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3147655\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">D.

Second base would be the easiest position to move to for a third baseman. Arenado has never played a game anywhere but third while Muncy has 178 pro games at second. With Tommy Edman back on a long-term deal, shortstop is handled so this trade would have Mookie Betts locked into the outfield.<\/p>\n<div id=\"AdThrive_Content_5_desktop\" class=\"adthrive-ad adthrive-sticky-container adthrive-content adthrive-content-5\"><\/div>\n<p>If one of these two teams lands Arenado, the Cardinals would likely have to eat money. Both teams are nearing the luxury tax threshold and need the assistance. That could land them a better prospect, which would be good for the Cardinals&#8217; rebuild.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nolan Arenado is a hot name in the trade market.
