Red Sox Eye Trade for Nolan Arenado

The Miami Marlins are undergoing a rebuild, having traded key players like Jesús Luzardo and Jake Burger, yet they are holding onto former Cy Young winner Sandy Alcántara, with assurances he won't be traded before Opening Day. Speculation suggests the Boston Red Sox could pursue Alcántara later, depending on the performance of their current rotation. Meanwhile, the Red Sox have strengthened their lineup by acquiring Garrett Crochet and may also target young pitching talent like Jared Jones from the Pittsburgh Pirates, potentially trading Triston Casas. Additionally, the Red Sox are heavily linked to St. Louis Cardinals' Nolan Arenado, seen as a pivotal move for their roster, especially if they miss out on free agent Alex Bregman. The complexities of Arenado's contract and position competition with Rafael Devers add to the uncertainty of this potential trade. As the 2025 season approaches, both teams are navigating critical decisions regarding their player rosters.
