Nolan Arenado has been a rare bright spot for the St. Louis Cardinals in an otherwise disappointing 2023 season. Still, many believe that the Cardinals would entertain trade offers for Arenado ahead of the MLB trade deadline, and it seems that the All-Star third baseman wouldn’t be too surprised by such a development.

Speaking with the reporters during the 2023 All-Star event in Seattle, Arenado was asked about the possibility of being traded by the Cardinals this season.

“It is a business, right?” Arenado responded.

The 32-year-old player added that dealing with trade rumors is nothing new to him.

“I’ve been traded once,” Arenado explained. “I think that shocked a lot of people at that time. I guess it doesn’t surprise me anywhere what happens in this game. It would still be surprising seeing some things happen. But I understand there are certain things that probably should.”

Arenado joined the Cardinals in a trade from the Colorado Rockies in 2021. He has since performed on an All-Star level, including a great individual campaign in 2023 that sees him batting .283 with 19 homers and 62 RBIs.

But despite Arenado’s stellar performances, the Cardinals currently find themselves at the bottom of NHL Central with a 38-52 record. Many expect them to be sellers at the trade deadline, moving from some veteran players in attempts to retool their roster for next season.

The St. Louis Cardinals have agreed to a blockbuster trade with the Colorado Rockies in which they will acquire superstar third baseman Nolan Arenado, a 5-time All-Star and 8-time Gold Glove Award winner.

The Rockies have committed to a rebuild and thus made the decision to shop their biggest star this offseason. They found a proper suitor in St. Louis, who will now take on the California native’s hefty contract with six years remaining.

Colorado will send $50 million along with Arenado to the Cardinals to help cover the cost of his massive contract, and St. Louis will send a package of prospects that have yet to be revealed in return.

Despite a down year in the pandemic-shortened 2020 campaign, Arenado has built a reputation as one of the game’s most reliable players thanks to his power production and stellar defense at the hot corner.

He hit only .253 with 8 home runs in 2020, but finished each season from 2015 to 2019 with a .280 batting average or higher and at least 37 home runs.

The deal has yet to be officially announced by the two teams, but expect the news to break from the teams early this week.
