The St. Louis Cardinals are in an interesting spot after racking up a handful of wins recently but one star could still be moved.
The St. Louis Cardinals are in a much better spot than they were a few weeks ago making a major sell-off significantly less likely.already this season but most have involved a firesale in some way, shape, or form. If the Cardinals can continue to find ways to win games, it may make more sense to buy around the trade deadline.

Cardinals star third baseman Nolan Arenado even was called one of the "Even though Arenado has three years and $74 million remaining on his contract, this trade is not as foolish as one might think," Thosar said. "Arenado is a gamer, a grinder, and a winner first. But right now, he's stuck on a Cardinals team that has underperformed for over a year and appears to be going nowhere...
"When players get to be around Arenado's age and understand that their best years are behind them, it becomes more of a concern for stars, in particular, to prioritize winning a championship and start earnestly chasing that ring before retirement comes crashing in. Despite how decorated the back of Arenado's baseball card is, he still has yet to appear in a championship series, let alone play in a World Series.

A trade may not be likely, but shouldn't be fully ruled out, yet.Patrick McAvoy's experiences include local and national sports coverage at the New England Sports Network with a focus on baseball and basketball.
