A St. Louis Cardinals veteran with $74 million remaining on his contract has been linked to the Houston Astros as a potential trade destination this winter.
The St. Louis Cardinals are expected to be active in the trade market this winter as the front office looks to reduce payroll and open opportunities for the club's young talent core.
Fortunately for Cardinals chairman Bill DeWitt Jr.'s wallet, a St. Louis fan favorite signed to an expensive contract remains on the trade block and the Houston Astros"Dealing Arenado would not be straightforward for a number of reasons," CBS Sports' Dayn Perry wrote Tuesday. "One, he has full no-trade protection. Two, he's under contract through the 2027 season and owed $74 million over that span.
"He remains, however, a standout defender at the hot corner," Perry continued. "He's also not a liability at the plate, at least based on 2024 levels of production and that in tandem with Arenado's defensive value make him potentially of interest to win-now teams. For instance, should Alex Bregman sign elsewhere, then perhaps the Astros would have interest, especially since Arenado's pull tendencies would be a good theoretical fit for the Crawford Boxes.
