3 reasons why this proposed NY Mets-Cardinals trade is a "no" for both teams

As the MLB offseason approaches, trade rumors and proposals begin to swirl, offering fans a glimpse into potential new lineups and team directions. One such proposal, highlighted in a Bleacher Report article on realistic trades, has sparked conversation between the fanbases of the New York Mets and the St. Louis Cardinals. The hypothetical trade suggests the Mets would acquire third baseman Nolan Arenado in exchange for left-handed pitcher Sean Manaea and right-handed pitching prospect Jonathan Pintaro, with cash considerations also going to St. Louis. The primary motivation for the Mets in this scenario would be to bolster their defense at the hot corner.
