For the Cardinals, the surprise Nolan Arenado trade update seems like a flashback.
Arenado and the Astros are the subject of renewed rumors. This is nothing new to us.
Throughout the winter, the St. Louis Cardinals have been looking for a suitor for third baseman Nolan Arenado, but they haven’t been successful. Arenado still has a sizable portion of his deal left. The veteran’s contract contains a no-trade provision, which makes things much more difficult for St. Louis. As Spring Training begins, he is still a Cardinal despite apparently clearing a deal to a couple teams.
The New York Post’s MLB source Jon Heyman recently revealed that the Cardinals and Houston Astros have resumed trade negotiations for Arenado in the hopes that the star will agree to a deal right away. Earlier this week, Arenado allegedly rejected a possible trade to the Astros.

For Astros fans, the Nolan Arenado trade update might mean big news.
There are many questions about the reunion of St. Louis and Houston.
In order to get Arenado, how much money are the Astros ready to pay? Would Houston now be able to get the talented third baseman? What has changed so drastically that he feels compelled to do this? Is it becoming too urgent for the Cardinals to trade him?
Arenado have changed his mind, but it’s not very probable that he would waive his no-trade clause for this deal.
It must be draining to be with a team that openly and obviously doesn’t want you. Even though it might not be a big thing in the summer, being unwelcome must be difficult now that spring training has underway. Even Arenado, who is a veteran.
To help the squad compete in 2025, the Astros have already taken a few actions. Adding Arenado would put Houston in a good position going into the 2025 regular season, probably for very little prospect capital.
There is nothing coming up there, either. “Offseason.”
