ASTROS NEWS AND RUMOURS: No Traction” Between Cardinals, Astros In Nolan Arenado Talks for been…

The Houston Astros have rekindled trade discussions with the St. Louis Cardinals regarding third baseman Nolan Arenado. This development follows Alex Bregman’s departure to the Boston Red Sox, creating a vacancy in the Astros’ infield. Arenado, a seasoned All-Star and Gold Glove winner, has been with the Cardinals since 2021. Earlier, he declined a trade to Houston, citing his no-trade clause. However, recent reports suggest that the Astros are once again pursuing a deal for the veteran third baseman.

Despite the renewed interest, sources indicate that the trade talks have not gained significant momentum. The Cardinals’ president of baseball operations, John Mozeliak, mentioned that he doesn’t feel anything is “imminent” regarding Arenado’s status. Additionally, reports suggest that Arenado’s stance on waiving his no-trade clause to join the Astros has not changed.

The Astros’ pursuit of Arenado underscores their commitment to strengthening their roster for the upcoming season. However, the complexities of the trade, including financial considerations and Arenado’s preferences, have made the negotiations challenging. As the season approaches, both teams and Arenado will need to assess their options carefully.
