Cardinals Entertaining Trade Offers for Nolan Arenado Ahead of Deadline

The St. Louis Cardinals are reportedly entertaining trade offers for veteran third baseman Nolan Arenado as the MLB trade deadline approaches, despite the team remaining in wild-card contention. Arenado, 34, possesses a full no-trade clause and previously used it to block a trade to the Astros this past winter, a decision that caught the Cardinals' lead decision-maker off guard. While his offensive production appears to be in decline, Arenado remains among the best defensive third basemen in baseball. He is currently under contract with the Cardinals through the 2027 season.
