I just read that supposedly there are teams interested in signing Bregman to play 2nd base. Was there ever any update on his elbow issues?

It’s possible he bounces back, but his Exit Velocity was way down, his barrel% was way down, he was hitting more balls up the middle instead of pulling them, and he wasn’t hitting fastballs as well as he had prior.
He’s not as old as Jose Abreu was, but everyone ages differently and Arenado looks to be declining. He’s still a top-notch fielder though so if you want to ensue there isn’t much drop off at the hot corner, Arenado would be a good move.
His contract is 3 years & $52M so less than what you’d have to pay Bregman by quite a bit. If you think you can get him back on track at the plate…this wouldn’t be a bad move.
This is EXACTLY the kind of guy we would throw way too much money at.
I’d literally rather just resign Bregman than trade for Arenado.
I’d rather have Bregman for sure. But I’ve always been a massive fan of Arenado. He’s a better defender for sure. Just worried about Father Time catching up. Plus I wound want St Louis to eat some money.
