The Boston Red Sox continue to require a significant right-handed hitter this offseason following a better performance from the starting rotation.
Nolan Arenado’s name remains prevalent in that discussion, originating from the Winter Meetings. Chris Cotillo and Sean McAdam of MassLive provided a significant update Sunday evening regarding Arenado’s desire to be traded to the Red Sox.
All in all, Arenado appears intrigued if the teams reach an agreement.
“According to industry sources on Sunday, ‘Boston is a favored destination — if not the top choice — for Arenado, a sought-after trade possibility holding a full no-trade clause,’ wrote Cotillo and McAdam. ‘If the Red Sox and Cardinals aligned on value, Arenado would have no reservations about agreeing to the trade.'”
The Red Sox were among six teams that Arenado said he would agree to a trade with when the reports first emerged during the Winter Meetings. Currently, that interest has intensified heading into 2025 as Boston persists in addressing another obvious requirement for the roster.
Arenado might not be the All-Star who dominated while playing for the Colorado Rockies, yet he can still provide substantial defensive support and strengthen a lineup as the Red Sox aim to break a playoff drought.
