The Blue Jays have a theoretical opening at third base, does the 10-time Gold Glover make sense there?
Arenado has three years and $74 million left on his contract. The Rockies owe him $10 million of that, making the deal effectively three years and $64 million for any acquiring team.While a trade of Arenado is far, far from a sure thing, there are plenty of teams who’ll be in the mix for third base help. The Yankees, Mariners, Astros , Blue Jays, Tigers and Royals all have reasonably straightforward vacancies at the position.And that is true. If the Jays continue to use Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
Heck, old friend Teoscar Hernandez, also in his 30s, would be a better match for Toronto. He and Soto are coming off incredible years, while Arenado is coming off the worst overall year of his career.Arenado’s contact skills remain excellent, but even the 15.5% strikeout rate he’s posted since 2023 is up from the 13.2% rate he posted in the four preceding seasons. He’s never been one to walk at an especially high clip, but Arenado drew a free pass in 9.
If the Cardinals are willing to take lesser prospects and eat significant portions of the money, then maybe a deal could be appealing. But until then? This one is a pass.Brady Farkas is a baseball writer for Fastball on Sports Illustrated/FanNation and the host of 'The Payoff Pitch' podcast which can be found on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
