Nolan Arenado Reports to Cardinals Camp Amid Trade Speculation

Nolan Arenado reported to St. Louis Cardinals spring training amid ongoing trade rumors, affirming his commitment to the team. Despite the Cardinals exploring potential trades, including discussions with the Houston Astros, Arenado's no-trade clause limited movement, and he expressed a preference for stability given his family's needs. He confirmed he would likely not expand his list of teams he would accept a trade to, which remains under five. Cardinals president of baseball operations John Mozeliak indicated a shift in approach, suggesting the team would wait for offers rather than actively seek a trade. With no recent momentum towards a deal, it appears Arenado will likely start the season with the Cardinals unless a compelling offer emerges. Arenado's focus is on improving his performance after a challenging previous season, emphasizing his readiness to contribute to the team.
