If you’re like me, you may be getting tired of hearing rumor after rumor about the St. Louis Cardinals’ connection with the Rockies involving Nolan Arenado. At this point, we have broken it down almost every way it can be done, and the basic thought is that: He’s going to cost a ton, but it should be worth it.
Arenado would be a transformative presence in the lineup and in the field. His huge contract is something the Cardinals are probably not looking at with a smile, but Arenado’s body of work speaks volumes about why he’s worth what he’s getting paid.
