When I looked at the trade value of both Nolan Arenado and Sonny Gray, I said I may return to them, but look at potential bad contract swaps. After researching the potential swaps…. I would be pretty surprised if this happens. There really aren’t many potential swaps. Which makes sense if you really think about it. First, how many teams actually want Nolan Arenado? And how many of those teams have a contract they’d like to swap with the Cardinals… that the Cardinals would be willing to pick up? If that list is zero, I would not be surprised.
