I would imagine the Season they have had has changed more than one opinion. He wants to win a World Series. I don’t think he would hesitate on the chance to move into a situation that helps him accomplish that. I just don’t want to hear any silly notions that players don’t want to come to Toronto. Toronto in the Summer time is as good as any city in Baseball. They don’t have the issues the Raptors do which is playing their season during the Canadian winter.
The only thing Nolan Arenado’s no trade clause does is hurt the value the Cardinals get in a trade. He controls where he goes and teams he wants to go to won’t have to give up as much. It’s ultimately going to come down to the Cardinals being able to convince him they can turn this around in 2024. He won’t want to wait 2-3 years. I think he moves for sure just not at the Deadline.
