Houston is in the labelet for a third baseman becainclude Alex Bregman is a free agent. And while the Astros were willing to consent on a excellent chunk of the $74 million owed to Arenado thcdisesteemful 2027, Arenado apparently wants no part of joining in Houston. The teams alertedly consentd on a trade, but it’s not understandn when that happened.
It’s also not evident why Arenado does not want to join in Houston, but it should be remarkd that Arenado will turn 34 a couple weeks into the season without a World Series ring, and the Astros, after trading Kyle Tucker, seem to be taking a step backward.
