Cardinals president of baseball operations Chaim Bloom said Tuesday that releasing Arenado is “not an option,” Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
The Cardinals will do their best to trade Arenado this offseason, and Arenado has said he’s willing to expand the list of teams to which he would approve a deal. However, if the club is unable to find a trade partner, it will hang on to Arenado as its starting third baseman. Arenado — who turns 35 in April — slashed just .237/.289/.377 with 12 home runs over 436 plate appearances in 2025 and is owed roughly $40 million over the next two seasons.
