Nolan Arenado Has Decision to Make After Cardinals-Mets Trade originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The St. Louis Cardinals are tearing down their roster in a seller’s market with a clear goal of competing in the future after falling out of playoff contention.

One day after the Cardinals couldn't find a taker for Nolan Arenado, St. Louis placed the veteran third baseman on the 10-day injured list with a right shoulder strain. Arenado had sought a deal prior to the season but he used his no-trade clause to prevent the team from trading him to the Houston Astros.
