The Astros are pursuing a trade for Nolan Arenado, who is open to leaving St. Louis but wants to play for a team in contention.
Arenado is willing to waive his no-trade clause only for teams he believes can win consistently, including the Astros.
Negotiations between the Astros and Cardinals could be complicated by financials, as the Astros will likely ask St. Louis to help pay down Arenado's salary.
Arenado's future hinges not just on his willingness to leave St. Louis, but also on the Cardinals' acceptance of trade terms involving salary coverage.
