In a world where things couldโ€™ve gone differently, Nolan Arenado mightโ€™ve been suiting up for the Houston Astros this season. But in reality, he made sure that didnโ€™t happen.

Back in December, the Astros had a deal lined up to bring Arenado on board. On paper, Houston seemed like a great fit for the eight-time All-Star, but Arenado used his no-trade clause to shut it down.

On Monday, with the Astros in town to kick off a three-game series against the Cardinals at Busch Stadium in St. Louis, Arenado opened up to reporters about why he said no to the move.

While he gave props to the Astros for their impressive run over the last decade, Arenado admitted he had doubts about whether theyโ€™d keep it up. He pointed to their decision to trade star outfielder Kyle Tucker as a red flag.

โ€œKyle Tuckerโ€™s one of the best in the game,โ€ Arenado said, according to The Athleticโ€™s Chandler Rome. โ€œWhen you see a team move a guy like that, most players would wonder, โ€˜Whatโ€™s going on here?โ€™ Thatโ€™s what I was thinking. And if Iโ€™d gone there, it didnโ€™t sound like [Alex] Bregman was sticking around eitherโ€”thatโ€™s another big loss.โ€

On top of trading Tucker to the Chicago Cubs, the Astros also saw Bregman walk away to the Boston Red Sox in free agency. Houston had eyed Arenado as a possible replacement for Bregman at third base.

Arenado made it clear he wasnโ€™t totally against the idea of joining Houston someday, but he wanted to wait and see how things would shake out with the teamโ€™s roster moves. The fact that they were looking to bring him in to fill Bregmanโ€™s shoes didnโ€™t exactly inspire confidence.

In the end, the Astros pivoted and signed another infielder to a three-year, $60 million contractโ€”slightly more than what they wouldโ€™ve owed Arenado.

Kris Bryant, the Colorado Rockies' outfielder, just canโ€™t catch a break when it comes to staying healthy. His latest health scare is raising concerns about whatโ€™s next for him.
According to MLB.comโ€™s Thomas Harding, Bryant has been diagnosed with lumbar degenerative disk disease and is now on the Injured List. Thereโ€™s no clear treatment plan yet, leaving his return up in the air.
Back in the 2021-22 offseason, Bryant inked a massive seven-year, $182 million deal with the Rockiesโ€”the biggest free-agent contract the team has ever handed out. The former four-time All-Star and 2016 NL MVP was coming off a strong 2021 season, where he hit .265/.353/.481 with 25 home runs and 32 doubles across 586 plate appearances for the Cubs and Giants. That performance made him one of the hottest names in free agency.
At the time, the Rockiesโ€™ decision to sign Bryant raised eyebrows. The team was coming off three straight losing seasons and didnโ€™t seem close to competing in a tough division with powerhouses like the Dodgers and Padres. Still, they hoped Bryantโ€™s bat could turn things around.
Unfortunately, the deal has been a bust so far. Injuries, including back issues that cut his 2024 season short, have kept Bryant from playing more than 80 games in any season with Colorado. Since 2023, heโ€™s managed just a .222/.307/.335 batting line over 531 plate appearances, with only 12 homers and 17 doubles.
With no updates on how heโ€™ll address this latest injury, itโ€™s unclear when or if Bryant will be back on the field anytime soon.

Every baseball team goes through ups and downs over a grueling 162-game season. But after kicking off 2025 with a perfect 8-0 record, the Dodgers are now grappling with a slump few saw coming so early.

On Sunday, Los Angeles fell 4-2 to the Cubs, marking their third straight series defeat. The loss came on the heels of a humiliating 16-0 rout by Chicago on Saturdayโ€”the worst home shutout in Dodgersโ€™ franchise history.

The Cubs series saw the Dodgers, who were unbeaten at home before it started, drop two of three games at Dodger Stadium. This follows a pattern, with Los Angeles also losing two of three to both the Phillies and the Nationals in recent weeks.

Despite a respectable 11-6 recordโ€”buoyed by their early hot streakโ€”the Dodgers have slipped to third in the NL West. They now trail two of the leagueโ€™s top teams: their arch-rivals, the Giants, and the red-hot, MLB-leading Padres.

The Dodgersโ€™ recent 4-6 slide over their last 10 games can be pinned partly on their struggling superstars. Shohei Ohtani, a three-time MVP, went hitless in five at-bats on Sunday and managed just one hit across the entire Cubs series. His bat has been quiet lately, with only one homer in his last nine games and a mere five RBIs all season.

Mookie Betts hasnโ€™t fared much better. He picked up two hits against the Cubs, but drove in just one run. In the six games against Philly and Washington combined, he only brought home two runners.

Freddie Freeman, sidelined by injury until Friday, returned to go 1-for-6 as a pinch-hitter on Sunday after struggling in the first two games against Chicago. He hadnโ€™t played since March 29 before rejoining the lineup.

Sure, a rough couple of weeks doesnโ€™t spell doom for Dodgers fansโ€”after all, this core already hoisted a World Series trophy together. But itโ€™s been a rocky month for LA.

The big question now is: when will the Dodgers look like themselves again?
