By the end of the weekend, the Astros had a deal in place to acquire the third baseman and there was a growing sense within the organization that it would land the eight-time All-Star.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, according to multiple league sources, Arenado declined to waive his no-trade clause, preferring not to make a decision this early in the offseason. That decision, first reported by <a class=\"c-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mlb.com\/news\/nolan-arenado-blocks-trade-cardinals-astros\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-stringify-link=\"http:\/\/MLB.com\" data-sk=\"tooltip_parent\">MLB.com on Wednesday<\/a>, is not final, and the Cardinals and Astros will continue conversations. It is unclear whether the Astros will continue heavily pursuing Arenado or pivot to other options.<\/p>\n<p>Cardinals president of baseball operations John Mozeliak first approached Arenado with the idea of a trade during the final week of the regular season, citing desires to lower payroll and focus on player development.<\/p>\n<p>Arenado, who opted into the remainder of his contract with St. Louis at the end of the 2022 season, was agreeable to the concept. He presented Mozeliak with a short list of teams he\u2019d be willing to waive his full no-trade clause for. That list originally included the Astros, though one source said Houston\u2019s trade of <a class=\"ath_autolink\" data-id=\"jqZDam8xs6T8T7g6\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/mlb\/player\/kyle-tucker-jqZDam8xs6T8T7g6\/\">Kyle Tucker<\/a> and the uncertainty over Alex Bregman returning may have changed Arenado\u2019s mind.<\/p>\n<p>The Cardinals are financially motivated to trade Arenado, who is owed $74 million over the next three seasons. According to a league source, if Arenado approved the trade, the Cardinals were set to pay roughly $5 million each year. Houston would foot the rest of the bill, amounting to approximately $45 million after factoring in deferrals.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><em>(Photo of Nolan Arenado: Dilip Vishwanat \/ Getty Images)<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/6004944\/2024\/12\/18\/cardinals-nolan-arenado-astros-trade\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Despite the St. Louis Cardinals\u2019 intentions to trade him, Nolan Arenado is not close to making a decision about his future.
