St. Louis has been speculated about a lot and a lot of the discussion has had to do with the future of star third baseman Nolan Arenado.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_te5r1z0bp\" data-uw-rm-sr=\"\">It has been reported that he is available on the trade market. He has\u00a0three years left\u00a0on a $260 million deal and certainly could help a contender. He likely is the Cardinals&#8217; best trade piece despite the high price.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_0a770knti\">There&#8217;s surely going to be interest in him and NJ.com&#8217;s Randy Miller\u00a0said that he&#8217;s hearing\u00a0that if a move happens, it will be with the Los Angeles Dodgers or New York Yankees.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_rdi9k32c2\">&#8220;One guy that could be a possibility (for the Yankees) is Arenado from St. Louis,&#8221; Miller said on WFAN Radio. &#8220;I think the Cardinals are trying to trade him, St. Louis would have to pick up some of the money and maybe the Yankees could have a deal where they trade some prospects. I keep hearing it&#8217;s going to be either the Yankees or the Dodgers &#8212; I think he&#8217;s a West Coast guy that would prefer to go to the Dodgers and I think the Dodgers want him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_scbjn0072\">Both teams have been speculated in some way for Arenado this offseason and over the last year as he has been in trade rumors. Both have a need at third base and it wouldn&#8217;t be too shocking to see rumors pick up.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who will end up landing the Cardinals superstar?
