The talks between the Houston Astros and St. Louis Cardinals have supposedly reopened on Nolan Arenado. I should point out that there is no telling how serious these discussions are or how likely a move is. There are a number of moving parts here. First, would Arenado even waive the no-trade clause this time around or is he dead set against coming to Houston? Secondly, is the same package on the board or has either side adjusted their position due to the proximity to the upcoming season?
Given those parameters I should also mention that simply the idea of writing about this is not necessarily an endorsement or indictment of the move.
