Massive Nolan Arenado Update: Dodgers Interested, Arenado Wants LA, and More

The latest update on the Arenado rumors is the most interesting. Dodgers Nation’s Doug McKain spoke with Cardinals beat writer, John Denton, about his insight on the 10-time Gold Glove winner’s wish this holiday season.

Denton believes the Dodgers have interest in Arenado, but haven’t publicly said so. He also provides context behind Arenado nixing a trade to Houston.

Nolan Arenado to Dodgers? Cardinals Insider Predicts That Nolan Arenado  Will Be Traded to LA

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 Max Muncy even had to address the Arenado trade buzz.

“As long as I get to stay around, I don’t care who they bring in,” Muncy said. “I think Andrew (Friedman) and Brandon (Gomes) know my stance on that extremely well. I’ve never been one that said ‘No, I’m not going to play this position, I’m not going to play that position. I’m not going to bat in this spot in the order.’ I don’t care. As long as you put me out there, I’ll play wherever they want to put me. As long as it means I’m out there on that field wearing Dodger blue, playing in that stadium. You’re 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’t matter. I just want to be there and help the team win.”

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.
