Colorado Rockies: 3 viable trade options for Nolan Arenado

The Texas Rangers have reportedly loved Nolan Arenado for years and who wouldn’t. They have missed out on Anthony Rendon and are not one of the teams rumored to have offered Josh Donaldson a 4-year contract worth around $100 million.

So, they have to get creative through the trade route.

And I think that if there was a time to do it, the Rangers should do it now.

Just this winter they have added to their rotation to rival some of the best in the league like the New York Yankees, New York Mets, Cincinnati Reds, and Washington Nationals.

They traded for Corey Kluber a few weeks ago to be at the top of the rotation along with 2019 All-Star Mike Minor, Lance Lynn, Kyle Gibson, and Jordan Lyles behind him.

Joey Gallo should have another powerful year in the middle of the lineup and I would expect him to hit a little better because he shouldn’t have to be worried about playing center field as much this season.

Adding Arenado to the club would add them to the long list of American League teams that are in Wild Card contention: the Los Angeles Angels, Cleveland Indians, Oakland A’s, Tampa Bay Rays, Boston Red Sox, and the Minnesota Twins.

Texas would have to deplete the farm system, but with a new stadium built and opening at the start of the season, Nolan Arenado would definitely help the organization put and keep butts in the seats.
