Nolan Arenado's trade speculation has decreased recently after he used his no-trade clause to block a deal to Houston. Although the St. Louis Cardinals' front office, led by Mozeliak, views the situation as a priority, trading Arenado is not essential for achieving acceptable payroll levels. An MLBTR poll suggests that most fans believe Arenado will remain with the team. The Cardinals are in talks with the Boston Red Sox, but trade discussions have struggled, particularly due to the complexity and fit of the players involved.
After the eight-time All-Star used his no-trade clause to quash a deal that would have sent him to Houston, the Cardinals have been unable to find a suitable match.
St. Louis president of baseball operations John Mozeliak said... the Arenado saga remained the front office's top priority.
In an MLBTR poll last week, nearly two-thirds of respondents felt Arenado would begin the season in St. Louis.
Arenado would be a more challenging roster fit. The Sox's pursuit of Bregman was likely conditioned on the possibility of moving him to second base.
