The Cardinals are days away from a potentially awkward situation at the ballclub’s spring training facility in Jupiter, Florida.

According to league sources, the Astros circled back with the Cardinals after Alex Bregman signed with the Red Sox.

The St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado officially reported to spring training on Sunday, arriving amid an offseason filled with trade speculation. Trade rumors aside, the eight-time All-Star and ten-time Gold Glover is still central to the Cardinals.

Arenado, 33, is now “considering a potential deal to Houston” after the team improved its roster over the last couple of months, per MLB.com. In the deal that got killed in December, the Cardinals were set to send $15-20 million to the Astros for Arenado, who is owed $74 million over the next three years.

Neither Arenado nor Mozeliak has set a deadline for a decision. Both are prepared to wait out Alex Bregman's next move.

Cardinals Gold Glove winner Nolan Arenado had high praise by manager Oli Marmol about how he's handled the trade rumors.

While the Astros’ earlier attempt to get Arenado failed due to his no-trade clause, speculations mount as he seems to be inclined toward Houston. The post Nolan Arenado to Astros Makes No “Sense,” Claims Top Insider Amid Rumors of Regrowing Links appeared first on EssentiallySports.
