Nolan Arenado's trade market cools as Cardinals explore options
St. Louis Cardinals infielder Nolan Arenado may not be traded this winter as interest in him declines. Previously, the Cardinals were looking to move Arenado, who has over $50 million left on his contract and a no-trade clause. The market for Arenado has narrowed to six teams, but many have obstacles. The Boston Red Sox and Philadelphia Phillies have key players at third base, making trades unlikely. The Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres also show little interest. As of now, the New York Mets and Los Angeles Angels remain potential options, but the overall market for Arenado appears weak. He has already declined a trade to the Houston Astros, and the New York Yankees did not meet the Cardinals' demands.
