Part 2/9:
A significant storyline discussed was the future of Nolan Arenado, the St. Louis Cardinals' star, who recently blocked a trade to the Houston Astros. Despite his refusal to waive the no-trade clause for Houston at this moment, both parties are expected to continue conversations regarding a potential move. Arenado is seeking to see how the third base market shakes out, particularly eyeing where Alex Bregman ends up. With the Cardinals looking to reduce payroll and Arenado eager to play for a contender, this creates a complex scenario as the offseason progresses.
