St. Louis finished off its three-game series against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday afternoon but had to do so without the services of third baseman Nolan Arenado. He was scratched right before the game which led some to speculate on social media about the possibility of a trade.

Muncy, who is playing on a two-year, $24 million deal, with a $10 million team option during the 2026 campaign, has been the subject of trade rumors recently. Many Dodgers fans want the team to trade for Nolan Arenado, a future Hall of Fame third baseman.
