The St. Louis Cardinals are still looking to trade veteran third baseman Nolan Arenado, but they haven't made much progress. Arenado is now willing to split time between first and third base, and St. Louis is also willing to throw in some money to help facilitate a deal. Almost used a throwaway line during their update on the offseason, ESPN's Buster Olney floated a scenario that likely will catch the attention of the Chicago Cubs.
While Olney cited teams' belief that the Cardinals will find a taker for All-Star Brendan Donovan, he suggests that there could be a scenario where Arenado is released.
