Arenado knows he’s plan B this offseason and once Bergman gets his multi-year, Plan B has better leverage. With a handful of teams looking to upgrade there, Nado will have a market.
The recent press time helps Nolan, and keeps him on one of the front burners for those interested. The decline to go to HOU was fitting patience, of market timing, even if it was due to Tucker and Bergman gone from their roster.
It appears he wants to be the “final piece” on a stacked roster.
