"Nolan Arenado is back in the Cardinals' lineup after a six-week shoulder injury. He has started at third base each of the past two nights. He'll probably be in the lineup for most or all of the final 10 games of the season, but the real source of intrigue will turn up again in the offseason. Arenado is under contract for two more seasons. He's slated for a $27MM salary next year."
"Lining up a trade will be easier said than done. Arenado nevertheless acknowledged yesterday that he has thought about the possibility that this week's homestand could be his final at Busch Stadium (via Jeff Jones of The Belleville News-Democrat). The 34-year-old noted that the organization is "heading toward young players, letting them (play)." He said he expects the upcoming offseason to be similar to last winter's in terms of trade rumors."
Nolan Arenado returned from a six-week shoulder injury and has started at third base the past two nights. He is likely to appear in most or all of the Cardinals' final ten games. Arenado remains under contract for two more seasons, with $27 million due next year (the Rockies covering $5 million and $6 million deferred) and $15 million owed in 2027. St. Louis would like to shed a portion of the remaining $37 million. He holds a full no-trade clause, is a 10-time Gold Glove winner, and has seen offensive production decline, hitting .238/.296/.370 in nearly 400 trips.
