The Los Angeles Dodgers have had a successful offseason, focusing on re-signing Clayton Kershaw while also considering further roster improvements. General manager Brandon Gomes expressed optimism about Kershaw's desire to remain with the team. The Dodgers have reopened trade discussions with the St. Louis Cardinals regarding All-Star third baseman Nolan Arenado, who has expressed a wish to play for Los Angeles. Financial negotiations regarding Arenado’s salary remain a concern as the Cardinals' willingness to absorb part of his contract could influence the deal's viability.
We've obviously stayed in touch with Kersh and I think our sentiments are out there and we know Kersh also wants to be a Dodger for life.
On the other front, you never say never and we'll continue to be opportunistic at looking at places at how to round out the roster.
A sticking point in any Arenado deal could come down to how much of the $64 million remaining on Arenado's contract the Cardinals are willing to absorb.
Initial trade talks in early January broke down when the Cardinals refused to pay as much as $20 million toward the balance of Arenado's contract.
