St. Louis finished off its three-game series against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday afternoon but had to do so without the services of third baseman Nolan Arenado. He was scratched right before the game which led some to speculate on social media about the possibility of a trade.

Cardinals third baseman and future Hall of Famer Nolan Arenado has been coming up in trade rumors that have been flowing since the end of the 2024 season. Although nothing has been officially announced and the star third baseman hasn't made any public comments, recent actions suggest he could be on his way out of St. Louis.
