Breaking: Trade rejection was more of a Cardinals betrayal than we thought following 2025 class…
The St. Louis Cardinals were at the goal line, hoping to trade Nolan Arenado (and the vast majority of his contract) to the Houston Astros. The only problem, of course, is that Arenado has a no-trade clause.
Arenado is on the record as wanting to play for a winner. The Astros have made the postseason for seven straight seasons, winning two World Series in the process. What’s the problem?
While it’s unclear exactly why Arenado turned down the trade – the reasoning provided so far is that he was still evaluating his options and wanted to wait – the result is the same. John Mozeliak and Co. must go back to the drawing board.
