The Los Angeles Dodgers have long coveted Nolan Arenado and "have engaged" with the St. Louis Cardinals about a possible trade, according to a report.

Arenado has a no-trade clause but is willing to waive it only for a trade to the Dodgers.

It's possible that a deal would include a starting pitcher such as Jordan Montgomery or Jack Flaherty.

Arenado is still owed $109 million through 2027, though the Colorado Rockies are paying $15 million of that from when they traded him to the Cardinals.
