The Astros’ pursuit of Nolan Arenado has hit a major roadblock.
According to sources, the Astros and Cardinals were in discussions on a
potential trade involving the third baseman, but Arenado informed St. Louis
that he will not waive his no-trade clause to go to Houston.
The Cardinals were willing to send $15-20 million to the Astros as part of
the deal to help pay down Arenado’s salary, sources said. The eight-time
All-Star is set to earn $74 million over the next three years, though the
Rockies are on the hook for $10 million as part of their 2021 trade with the
Cardinals, while $12 million of the deal is deferred, bringing the
present-day value of what he is owed to roughly $60 million. The money the
Cardinals were willing to include would have brought the Astros’ commitment
down to roughly $40-45 million over three years.
A source said there were still “ongoing talks” between the clubs, though
another source indicated that the Astros aren’t holding out much hope that a
deal will get done.
“It’s definitely not close,” a source said.
It’s unknown exactly why Arenado doesn’t want to go to the Astros, though
given his desire to join a team that can win now, Houston’s trade of Kyle
Tucker to the Cubs last week couldn’t have helped its effort to land the
10-time Gold Glove Award winner.
總之就是
Arenado動用了他的不可交易條款 拒絕前往休士頓
紅雀願意吃15-20M的現金 所以交易原本非常接近完成(他的合約變成只要40-45M/3Y)
拒絕的原因未知 可能是因為他覺得去太空人不會贏球
太空人還有在談其他交易但都還差很遠
