The Cardinals anticipated to have traded Nolan Arenado by now. President of baseball operations John Mozeliak instructed on the Winter Conferences {that a} deal may come collectively inside every week or two. That in all probability would’ve been the case had the eight-time All-Star not used his no-trade clause to kill talks a few transfer to the Astros.
That leaves St. Louis in an ungainly place. They’ve publicly shopped Arenado. He is seemingly amenable to waiving his no-trade clause in sure circumstances. For no matter motive, he wasn’t desirous about going to Houston final month. Subsequent reporting indicated he may take into account the Astros sooner or later, however the workforce moved on to Christian Walker nearly instantly and now not wants a nook infielder. The Cardinals must look elsewhere.
Will Sammon and Katie Woo of the Athletic reported this week that there is been minimal traction on an Arenado commerce because the Houston talks collapsed. The Yankees, lengthy a speculative match, are apparently not as because it first appeared. The YES Community’s Jack Curry pushed again in opposition to that notion final week. Jon Heyman additionally instructed in a Bleacher Report dwell stream yesterday that the Yankees have been extra prone to keep on with DJ LeMahieu than to go after Arenado.
The place does that go away Mozeliak and firm?
