Nolan Arenado is set to remain with the St. Louis Cardinals through at least the 2025 season, despite trade rumors that have surrounded him throughout the offseason. After rejecting a trade to the Houston Astros, the Cardinals couldn't find a suitable trade partner, which leaves the eight-time All-Star looking forward to contributing to the team. In a recent interview, Arenado expressed his excitement about the upcoming season and his commitment to help the Cardinals succeed.

Despite an organizational reset that didn’t materialize, Arenado’s presence is viewed as crucial for the Cardinals, especially for their young players who can benefit from his experience. While preseason projections suggest the team might struggle, Arenado is eager to turn around his performance after a disappointing 2024 season, aiming for a bounce-back year.
