The St. Louis Cardinals could look very different in the near future.
St. Louis likely isn't going to slow down until the payroll is lowered even further than it already has and the farm system is in a better place. The Cardinals are in a weird spot. John Mozeliak is still the Cardinals' president of baseball operations but it already has been announced that Chaim Bloom will be replacing him at the end of the 2025 season.
It seems like 2025 will be a transition year for the Cardinals, and that's going to lead to changes as they try to rebuild the roster and the farm system. Because of this, FanSided's Thomas Gauvain predicted that star third baseman Nolan Arenado"Nolan Arenado feels like the most probable trade candidate on the roster among players with a no-trade clause," Gauvain said. "With both Contreras and Gray virtually off the board, he and Miles Mikolas are the only two remaining.
"His defense came back to form in 2024 following a lackluster showing in 2023, and he's amassed 4.9 bWAR these last two years. Arenado has three years and $74 million left on his contract, though the Colorado Rockies are chipping in $10 million, and there are some deferments attached. Teams like the Philadelphia Phillies, Los Angeles Dodgers, and Houston Astros could be interested in his services at the hot corner.
