Dodgers reportedly not interested in $260 million Cardinals All-Star

Dodgers reportedly not interested in $260 million Cardinals All-Star

Yahoo10-07-2025
The Los Angeles Dodgers have needs to address at the trade deadline. Their pitching staff has been hit hard by injuries.
Their starting rotation in particular has been dealt blow after blow, with Blake Snell, Tony Gonsolin, Gavin Stone and Roki Sasaki all on the injured list.

That will likely be the biggest need they hope to address at the deadline, as most other areas of the roster are more or less set. But that doesn't mean they won't add in other areas.
When answering a question about the Dodgers potentially acquiring Nolan Arenado from the St. Louis Cardinals, Jim Bowden of The Athletic threw cold water on the idea, stating that Los Angeles is already set at third base.
"The Dodgers say no because they're not taking on Arenado's contract at this point in his career and they're happy with Max Muncy, who is on the injured list but expected to return from his bone bruise well before the end of the regular season," Bowden wrote.

The Dodgers had interest in Arenado back in 2023 when the Cardinals were in the middle of a trade deadline sale. However, the Cardinals chose to hold onto Arenado.
Arenado is owed $74 million from this year to the end of his contract in 2027. While Muncy is a free agent at the end of the season, the Dodgers can easily re-sign him and have him remain at third base.
In all likelihood, the Cardinals are going to be stuck with Arenado through the end of his contract.
While the 10-time Gold Glove winner provides elite defense at third base, his offense has declined significantly. The star third baseman is hitting .244/.303/.389 with 10 home runs, 41 RBI and a .692 OPS.

The Dodgers will more than likely choose to upgrade their pitching staff at the trade deadline, as their lineup is mostly set, especially with Muncy expected to return before the end of the season.

Bears training camp observations: Another sloppy day for the offense on Day 2

The Chicago Bears hit the practice field at Halas Hall on Thursday morning for the second practice of training camp undr new head coach Ben Johnson. It was a closed practice, but the media have started to share observations. Wednesday's workout was a rough one for the offense, but it sounds like Thursday's was just as bad, if not worse. Johnson mentioned Tuesday that it's going to be an up-and-down process during training camp, and Thursday certainly sounded like it was a struggle at times. As far as attendance goes, rookie wide receiver Luther Burden III and defensive tackle Shemar Turner were sidelined by injuries while rookie cornerback Zah Frazier was excused from practice for personal reasons, as Johnson noted before practice. Here are some observations, from media members in attendance, following Thursday's training camp practice: Another sloppy day for the offense Kiran Amegadjie gets crack with starting offense, Noah Sewell remains LB3 Rookie Kyle Monangai saw some work with the first-team offense, and he had an impressive run Nashon Wright getting more time with first-team defense in place of Jaylon Johnson 11-on-11 recap Tyson Bagent working at QB2, Ian Wheeler and Kyle Monangai are fast plus more Caleb Williams under center Highlights This article originally appeared on Bears Wire: Bears training camp observations: Sloppy day for offense on Day 2

Nathaniel Hackett returns to Packers as defensive analyst

Who says you can't go home? Former Broncos head coach and Jets offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett is now back on staff with the Packers, head coach Matt LaFleur confirmed in his Thursday press conference. Hackett will serve as a defensive analyst for the club, helping give coordinator Jeff Hafley a fresh perspective. It's a similar role to what Robert Saleh played for the offense when he joined the staff last year after being fired as Jets head coach. Luke Getsy also served as a defensive analyst last year after he'd been fired from his role as Raiders offensive coordinator. Getsy is now still on staff as a senior assistant. "He's a guy I really respect and we've had a lot of great times together," LaFleur said Thursday, via Zach Kruse of USA Today. 'It's a fresh perspective. It gives you a little different lens to see it through, talk it through," LaFleur added. "He's sitting in with our defensive staff. He's been in our linebacker room going through the film, giving them a good offensive perspective.' Hackett was the Packers' offensive coordinator under LaFleur from 2019-2021. He was then hired as Broncos head coach in 2022 and was fired after a 51-14 loss to the Rams on Christmas Day with two games remaining in the season. He then served as Jets offensive coordinator in 2023, reuniting with Aaron Rodgers. He lost play-calling duties after Saleh was fired as Jets head coach midway through the 2024 season.
