So here we are again. The Cardinals are reportedly pursuing a Colorado Rockies player who they have pretty clearly coveted for a number of years. It’s funny in a way how the Cards’ extended game of footsie with the Rockies in regards to Nolan Arenado is both reminiscent of their long-term and eventually consummated interest in Matt Holliday (though admittedly, Holliday was dealt to the A’s before ultimately ending up wearing the Birds on the Bat), and also their long-term interest in, well, Nolan Arenado. At this point, hearing the Cardinals are talking trade for the Colorado third baseman feels like an old friend calling, or a song from your teenage years coming from a car window.
