Arenado’s Injuries Cloud Cardinals’ Trade Deadline Plans

News summary

St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado is the focus of trade speculation ahead of the July 31 MLB trade deadline, though his recent injuries—including a right shoulder impingement and an earlier finger sprain—could impact his trade value and availability. The Cardinals are weighing whether to buy or sell, with Arenado, closer Ryan Helsley, and reliever Phil Maton all potential trade candidates. Any Arenado trade would require him to waive his no-trade clause and would involve navigating his contract, which runs through 2027. The Cardinals may also look to acquire a left-handed reliever such as Gregory Soto if they choose to contend. The team's performance in July will determine their approach moving forward. Meanwhile, the Kansas City Royals are actively seeking trade targets to address roster weaknesses before the deadline.
