Could Nolan Arenado be heading home to Southern California? On this episode of Cards Central 365, Joe Roderick and Ryan Fagan analyze whether the Los Angeles Angels are the most logical trade partner for the Cardinals' star third baseman.

With rumors swirling about an Anthony Rendon buyout and retirement, the Angels are desperate for legitimacy and a reliable corner infielder. Ryan and Joe discuss why Arenado might waive his no-trade clause for the Halos and how he fits into a lineup with Mike Trout.

Plus, following the (hypothetical) trade of Sonny Gray, the guys break down what Chaim Bloom is looking for in return. Can the Angels' thin farm system provide enough value, or is this deal purely about salary relief?
