After the Cardinals Winter Warm-Up weekend, chairman Bill DeWitt Jr. discussed the team's focus on potentially trading star player Nolan Arenado. Despite the challenges, including players' no-trade clauses and salary obligations, the organization remains open to a trade if it aligns with their interests. DeWitt emphasized that the failure to trade Arenado would not lead to broader payroll cuts, reflecting ownership's willingness to maintain a higher budget to address unmet trade expectations.
The Cardinals are on the hook for $64MM of the $74MM owed to Arenado over the next three seasons, making his trade challenging.
Cardinals ownership appears willing to maintain a higher payroll than initially planned, indicating they haven't secured the trades they expected.
