The Boston Red Sox have the surprising opportunity to acquire two valuable players from the St. Louis Cardinals this offseason.

John Mozeliak says trading Nolan Arenado remains “Priority 1, 2 and 3” but acknowledges the team remains in a holding pattern due to the FA market. He would like to add to the bullpen/maybe a RH-bat, but won’t before they have clarity on Arenado’s future.

There hasn't been much chatter since a deal fell apart with Houston, and that has kept the Cardinals from moving forward on other signings they want to make.
