Los Angeles Angels fans face a turning point: Could Nolan Arenado’s arrival finally solve the team’s long-standing struggles at third base? J.D. Hafron of Locked On Cardinals joins Jon and Mike Frisch, the Super Halo Bros., to debate whether the Angels should trade for the Cardinals’ All-Star third baseman, weighing the risks of another blockbuster contract against Arenado’s Hall of Fame pedigree and clubhouse influence.

The Los Angeles Angels sparked offseason debate as the Rule 5 Draft passed without additions to the 40-man roster, leaving five open spots and major questions about Perry Minasian’s next moves. Will the Halos capitalize on this roster flexibility to secure a top starting pitcher, power bat, or defensive upgrade?

The hosts weigh payroll implications, pitching depth concerns, and whether the quiet winter meetings mean a dramatic move is still coming. Can the Angels finally address their weaknesses before Opening Day, or will familiar challenges linger?Everydayer Club  If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
