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.

The Rockies and their franchise cornerstone, Nolan Arenado, will continue together for the next several years after the two parties agreed to a big contract extension.

Arenado, considered by many to be the best third baseman in baseball, agreed to sign a contract extension for 6 seasons worth $260 million with the team that drafted him back in 2009.

The 27-year-old has established himself as one of the best players in baseball over the past several seasons. In addition to being widely considered as the best defensive third baseman in the game, he is also a prolific power hitter.

The talented third baseman has won the NL Gold Glove award as the best defensive third baseman in the league every season since making his debut with Colorado in 2013.

In addition, Arenado has twice led the MLB in home runs during his first six seasons with Colorado. He hit 42 home runs in 2015 and 41 in 2016 to lead the league.

The California native has been named an All-Star for the past four consecutive seasons. He has also garnered four consecutive Silver Slugger awards as the top offensive player at his position in Major League Baseball.

Arenado and the Rockies will look to continue their recent success together. The Rockies have made the playoffs in the past two seasons, their first playoff berths since the franchise´s only World Series appearance back in 2007.
