Part 7/9:
An interesting rumor surfaced regarding St. Louis Cardinals' Nolan Arenado, with discourse suggesting he could be a candidate for trade. However, many, including analysts from the Mets pod, have expressed disinterest due to his decline in performance over the last few seasons and a hefty contract left on the table.
This sentiment reflects a broader conversation about acquisitions. The ideal strategy is not to make typical “Mets moves” that in the past led to unsatisfactory returns on investment. Instead, the focus ought to be on young, emerging talent or at least more viable options in the trade market.
