Bernie Show: Astro Arenado?
Manage episode 455821991 series 3591695
On Saturday, The Athletic reported the Houston Astros have emerged as a "serious suitor" in a trade for Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado. The report also noted that no deal is imminent. But this could lead to a trade; as I type this we just don't know the answer. And depending on when you choose to watch this video, we may have gotten the answer by then ... one way or the other.
Arenado has full no-trade protection, and according to a report at MLB.com, Houston isn't on the list of Arenado's acceptable destination. But the Astros have made the playoffs 9 times in the last 10 years including their current streak of eight consecutive years. Houston still has enough talent to extend that impressive streak. And those Crawford Boxes down the left field line would give Arenado's right-handed, pull-side power some cheap homers.
In this video, I also offer a detailed breakdown of the financial aspects of this potential trade and why it makes sense for the Astros -- contrary to public opinion -- to go for Arenado rather than increase their recent six-year, $156 million offer to Bregman (now a free agent.) The Astros appear to be moving on from Bregman. Can they get Arenado? Thanks for watching.
