Summary
The St. Louis Cardinals are considering trading their third baseman, Nolan Arenado. While Arenado used his contract's no-trade clause last season to avoid moving to another team, there is ongoing discussion about finding him a new team where he can win. His performance has decreased, making it harder for the Cardinals to trade him without covering part of his salary.
