The third baseman has been the subject of trade rumors.

The Cardinals were willing to send $15-20 million to the Astros as part of the deal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cardinals president of baseball operations John Mozeliak said trade talks involving Arenado continue to happen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cAll I can say is that we were in talks with multiple teams, and we still are.
