Brenden Schaeffer discusses the recent rumblings that point to the likelihood of the Cardinals trading Nolan Arenado this winter. If the Cardinals have talked to all of their players with no-trade clauses and it was reported that Willson Contreras and Sonny Gray prefer to stay with St. Louis — does that imply that Nolan Arenado does not want to be here anymore?

We'll dive into the nuance of that question. But realistically, could anyone blame him if that were the case? The Cardinals aren't moving in an immediate direction that prioritizes the championship that Arenado craves. We'll break down his status as well as speculation on how likely it is that the Cardinals pull the trigger on dealing him.

Plus, whether the timing might be reasonable for all parties to do it now.
