The Cardinals are in a very familiar place as of late, a place the Cardinals were in all of last offseason, which is a holding pattern of sorts. The holding pattern being caused by potential trades that will probably happen but haven’t yet. The Cardinals are in a more advantageous position now though, basically waiting for a team to capitulate to the demand for Brendan Donovan as opposed to getting zero calls from teams interested in Nolan Arenado. The latter admittedly is still happening, but at least Arenado will be more receptive to waiving the no trade clause this time.
