Nolan Arenado isn’t excited about the possibility of being traded from the St. Louis Cardinals, but rumors are linking the eight-time All-Star to the Dodgers at the deadline.
More often than not, no major leaguer wants to be traded. Arenado waived an opt out in his contract to stay in St. Louis shortly after being traded from the Colorado Rockies in the 2020-2021 offseason. Uprooting his family during the season is difficult for any major leaguer. In baseball, players often don’t have a say in whether they will be traded or not.
With Arenado, he has some protections in place with a no trade clause in his contract.
