The Phillies are reportedly one of six teams on Arenado’s wish list. Does he qualify as an upgrade over Alec Bohm?

The Astros ' pursuit of Nolan Arenado hit a serious snag Wednesday afternoon as the St. Louis Cardinals third baseman refused to waive his no-trade clause in a deal with Houston. But Arenado's current stance could become flexible in the coming weeks.

Arenado was never fully comfortable with being dealt to the Astros and, sources say, does not want to rush into a trade decision.
