After all, Arenado is regarded as one of the best third basemen in the league\u2014he donned the St. Louis Cardinals last season; his powerful bat combined with his Gold Glove defense would solidify the infield and free up resources for other areas of need.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;However, there is a certain hurdle for acquiring Arenado: his contract terms. Nolan Arenado is owed approximately $74 million over the next three seasons, which might alarm other teams but not the Mets. But under Cohen&#8217;s strategic leadership, the Mets&#8217; financial flexibility allows them to secure him comfortably.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Bringing back Alonso should be the top priority, but if New York can&#8217;t come to terms on a deal to secure him, this trade idea makes a lot of sense.<\/p>\n<p>The Mets could likely acquire him for next to no prospect capital if they&#8217;re willing to take on a large chunk of Arenado&#8217;s contract.<\/p>\n<p>Sliding Mark Vientos to first base while Arenado mans the hot corner would be a big upgrade over what the Mets have on the roster right now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The New York Mets signed superstar Juan Soto to begin the offseason.
