Third baseman Nolan Arenado has informed the St. Louis Cardinals that he will not waive his no-trade clause to head to the Houston Astros, who have been in talks with the Redbirds about a potential deal for the eight-time All-Star.
Mark Feinsand, John Denton and Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reported the news.
"It's unknown exactly why Arenado doesn't want to go to the Astros, though given his desire to join a team that can win now, Houston's trade of Kyle Tucker to the Cubs last week couldn't have helped its effort to land the 10-time Gold Glove Award winner," the MLB.
