The St. Louis Cardinals are actively seeking a trade for third baseman Nolan Arenado, having granted him and his agent permission to engage with other teams. Arenado, who has a full no-trade clause, is under contract for significant sums over the next few years, complicating potential trades.

Cardinals president John Mozeliak confirmed the team's intention to trade Arenado, who has been linked to several franchises, including the Boston Red Sox and Los Angeles Dodgers. With the MLB Winter Meetings underway, a deal could materialize soon.
