The St. Louis Cardinals don't currently plan to trade closer Ryan Helsley but are "open-minded" to offers, president of baseball operations John Mozeliak told The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal.

"It's something we will always remain open-minded to, but our plan is to have him be part of our organization," Mozeliak told Rosenthal.

Helsley led the MLB with a career-high 49 saves in 2024. He is arbitration-eligible for one more season.

The Cardinals are also "continuing to explore" the market for third baseman Nolan Arenado, Katie Woo previously reported for The Athletic.
