After an offseason focused on potential trades for Mookie Betts and Francisco Lindor, it now appears Nolan Arenado is the most likely superstar to get moved this offseason.
Jon Morosi of MLB Network reported the news. Both Betts and Lindor recently came to terms with their respective clubs on arbitration contracts, so that likely impacted the pecking order of the trade market.
Arenado is arguably on the market in large part due to mistakes made by the Rockies front office. His eight-year, $260 million contract has an opt-out clause after the 2021 season, and it seems likely Arenado will opt out and look for an even larger contract.
