The possibility of the Los Angeles Dodgers adding All-Star third baseman Nolan Arenado always seemed outlandish, not because the team wouldn’t successfully trade for him, but rather, the defending champions didn’t need him.

Earlier this week, MLB insider Jeff Passan reported the Boston Red Sox as the most reasonable landing spot for Arenado.
“With the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers seen as long shots to make a move for Arenado, an eight-time All-Star third baseman, the Red Sox remain the landing spot that makes the most sense,” Passan wrote.
