Dodgers Insider Shares Major Update on Potential Nolan Arenado Trade
What’s up, Dodger Nation! Today, we’re diving into a hot topic from the offseason rumor mill that’s lighting up social media. One of the biggest names in MLB, third baseman Nolan Arenado from the St. Louis Cardinals, has been linked as a potential trade target for the Los Angeles Dodgers. But does this move actually make sense for our team?

Now, here’s the scoop. Arenado, at 33 years old, is one of the league’s top third basemen, boasting 10 Gold Glove Awards throughout his stellar career. With the Cardinals shifting into a rebuild for 2025, they’re reportedly open to offers for him. However, Arenado is still owed $74 million over the next three years, which raises questions about whether any team would take on that financial commitment.
And there’s more: Arenado has a no-trade clause, meaning he controls his destination. Recently, a list of teams he’d approve a trade to was revealed. Guess what? The Dodgers are right at the top of his wishlist!
Now, let me ask you this: If you had the choice, would you want Arenado wearing Dodger blue in 2025?
While you think about that, here’s what insiders are saying. Despite Arenado’s apparent interest in Los Angeles, reliable sources like The Athletic report that the Dodgers have no plans to pursue him. Why? Two words: Max Muncy.
General Manager Brandon Gomes didn’t leave any room for speculation at the Winter Meetings, stating:
"Muncy’s going to play third base for us. He’s such a big piece of what we do and has been a staple."
And honestly, that makes sense. Muncy was a key player in last season’s success, helping the Dodgers capture the World Series title. Moving him to make room for Arenado—and taking on such a hefty contract—feels unnecessary, especially with strong options already in place for the rest of the infield.
So, Dodger Nation, the reality is this trade seems unlikely. Despite the rumors and Arenado’s preference for Los Angeles, the Dodgers are focused on bolstering areas that truly matter while staying within budget.
But I want to hear from you: Would you trade Max Muncy and some of our financial flexibility to bring in Nolan Arenado? Or do you prefer sticking with the strong foundation we already have?
