Cardinals Consider Trading Nolan Arenado

The St. Louis Cardinals are considering significant roster changes during their upcoming reload, potentially trading veteran third baseman Nolan Arenado, whose market is expected to be strong if the Cardinals cover part of his salary. Teams such as the Los Angeles Dodgers, New York Yankees, and Boston Red Sox have been mentioned as potential suitors for Arenado. Meanwhile, former Cardinals pitcher Jack Flaherty, after a successful season split between the Detroit Tigers and Los Angeles Dodgers, is projected to sign a lucrative multi-year deal, possibly with teams like the Chicago Cubs. The Cardinals have tendered contracts to all six of their arbitration-eligible players, while Adam Kloffenstein, not yet eligible for arbitration, was not tendered and became a free agent. The Cardinals' focus remains on selective trades rather than a complete roster overhaul.
