Nolan Arenado Could Remain With Cardinals In 2025
1 month agoThe St. Louis Cardinals and third baseman Nolan Arenado agreed at the beginning of the offseason that it was in both party's best interest to move on. Arenado's agent, Joel Wolfe, was given permission to seek a trade for his client. The Houston Astros were willing to trade for Arenado and take on the majority of the remaining three years and $74 million left on his contract, but Arenado was not sold on the idea and used his full no-trade clause to block the deal. According to sources, Arenado was willing to later revisit a trade to Houston, but the Astros pivoted quickly and signed Christian Walker. There has been minimal traction on the trade front for the 10-time Gold Glove winner since, making it plausible that he remains with the Cardinals in 2025. The Red Sox and Yankees have been linked to Arenado, but it's unclear exactly how interested they'd be in Arenado and the money that comes with him.
