As spring training approaches, the baseball world is buzzing with developments, particularly surrounding Nolan Arenado's trade situation with the Cardinals. Renewed talks with the Red Sox signal urgency to finalize any move before camp starts. Meanwhile, teams seeking lefty relievers are facing a dwindling market as key pitchers secure contracts. Veteran Andrew Chafin stands out as the best remaining option. Lastly, the Reds are expected to resolve a designations-for-assignment situation involving a pitcher as their one-week deadline draws to a close, highlighting the fast-paced nature of roster management at this time of year.
The Cardinals would surely prefer to move Arenado in the next two weeks and avoid a potentially distracting storyline as the club opens camp.
Yesterday saw two of the top remaining lefty relief arms land contracts, leaving teams seeking southpaws with increasingly limited options.
One week ago today, the Reds designated right-hander for assignment, and the one-week window for resolution is expected to conclude this afternoon.
Veteran lefty Andrew Chafin remains the best option on the market, with several others highlighting the existing depth options.
