Around the league...
- Jon Morosi wrote about the possibility of Nolan Arenado being shipped to the Dodgers. As if Los Angeles needed any more talent.
- He might not be the only big-name third baseman on the move this winter.
Sources: #Nats are considering a trade for #Cubs 3B Kris Bryant, among numerous hitters they’re currently monitoring on the market. Free agent DJ LeMahieu is another option, as I reported earlier today on @MLBNetwork. @MLB
