Cardinals POBO John Mozeliak said that the odds are greater now that Nolan Arenado is the opening day third baseman in St. Louis than traded.
With the Red Sox signing Alex Bregman on Wednesday night, the biggest potential target for Arenado is now off the table. It’s possible the Yankees, Cubs, or Tigers, who were all in on Bregman, could be interested in Arenado, but it doesn’t appear likely given his contract and recent run of declining production. Mozeliak said, “Our mindset is Nolan Arenado is our third baseman,” and fantasy managers likely should be as well.
