Cardinals reengage teams on Nolan Arenado trade talks

Nolan Arenado has reported to St. Louis Cardinals spring training amid ongoing trade discussions, with uncertainty surrounding his future with the team. The Cardinals are attempting to navigate a complicated trade landscape, hindered by Arenado's full no-trade clause, which limits potential suitors. Recent reports suggest the Cardinals have re-engaged with the Boston Red Sox, who may be pivoting away from targeting Alex Bregman. However, trade talks have been stymied by St. Louis's reluctance to absorb a significant portion of Arenado's salary. The Cardinals are focused on revamping their roster while maintaining a youth movement, but frustrations among fans continue as the team has not made significant free-agent signings. The situation remains fluid, with the Cardinals needing to act before the season starts to remain competitive.
