Jeff Passan of ESPN reported that the Boston Red Sox trading for Nolan Arenado has faced one big issue from the St. Louis Cardinals.

In addition to being one of the teams in pursuit of Bregman, the Red Sox have also been connected to Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado on the rumor mill. Arenado, who has three years and $74 million left on his contract, would have to waive his no-trade clause to facilitate any deal.

With just over a week until the first spring training games, St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado remains with the team despite President of Baseball Operations John Mozaleik's very public intentions to trade him.
