The Colorado Rockies have reportedly agreed to trade third baseman Nolan Arenado to the St. Louis Cardinals.
Despite all of the rumors over the last two years (including rumors to the Cardinals last offseason) by the reaction on social media, it’s still something that took fans aback. And who could blame you?
Less than 48 hours ago, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reported that “no deal appears close” but he was the one who broke the news that Arenado would be traded to the team that reportedly couldn’t afford Arenado and his salary due to the massive losses in revenue in 2020 due to the pandemic.
