The St. Louis Cardinals are poised to make significant trades this offseason, driven by a need to reduce payroll. Superstar third baseman Nolan Arenado is among the players whose high market value could lead to a deal, potentially with the Boston Red Sox.

A proposed trade would see the Red Sox acquire right-handed pitchers Ryan Helsley and Erick Fedde in exchange for three top prospects. This move could bolster Boston's bullpen while allowing the Cardinals to replenish their farm system.
