Honestly, I wouldn't mind waiting for him next offseason, as long as they get him. They're both 4 time All-Stars, whereas Manny's won 2 Gold Gloves and a Platinum Glove. Arenado meanwhile is a 6 time Gold Glove winner, 2 time Platinum Glove winner and a 4 time Silver Slugger. Offensively, they're pretty neck and neck. Machado for his career has a WAR of 33.8, 3,720 ABs, 522 runs, 1050 hits, .282 AVG, 175 HR, 513 RBI, 53 SB, .335 OBP, .487 SLG, .822 OPS. Arendao: WAR of 33.1, 3348 ABs (fewer), 524 runs (more), 975 hits (fewer), .291 AVG (higher), 186 HR (higher), 616 RBI (higher), 13 SB (fewer), .346 OBP (higher), .539 SLG (higher), .886 OPS (higher). So basically Arenado is a better defender and as good, if not better hitter without the "I'm not Johnny Hustle" comments. And they're only a year apart in age: Manny's 26 and Nolan's 27.
