The St. Louis Cardinals have 11 World Series titles and have been known as one of MLB’s best teams in recent history.
Since winning the World Series in 2011, the Cardinals have made the postseason in eight of 13 seasons but have missed the past two.
With rumors swirling of the Cardinals having a reset year in 2025, Nolan Arenado has become a likely trade candidate.
If traded, the 10-time Gold Glove third baseman reportedly would be willing to switch positions.
“Nolan Arenado is open to playing first base for a potential new team, per Katie Woo (of The Athletic),” B/R Walk-Off wrote on X.
This is not the first time this offseason that a player has said he is open to playing a different position for a new team.
Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Willy Adames also said he would move if the deal was right on a team with a solidified player already on the roster.
Arenado came into the league in 2013 with the Colorado Rockies and played eight seasons before going to the Cardinals for the past four seasons.
In 2024, Arenado played in 152 games, batting .272 with 16 home runs, 71 RBIs and a .719 OPS.
With the Cardinals rumored to rebuild over the next few seasons, it would make sense to trade Arenado to try to get a bundle in return.
The 33-year-old could be a target for teams wanting to add a right-handed bat with some power as he has hit at least 30 home runs in seven of his 12 MLB seasons.
