Breaking: Cardinals Make Historic Offer to Nolan Arenado, Securing Future of Star Third Baseman
St. Louis, MO – In a move that is set to send shockwaves throughout the baseball world, the St. Louis Cardinals have made a monumental offer to star third baseman Nolan Arenado, which he has been triggered to sign. The deal, which is reportedly worth over $275 million, cements Arenado’s status as one of the highest-paid players in the game.
According to sources close to the negotiations, the Cardinals’ offer includes a seven-year extension, with an average annual salary of over $39 million. The deal also includes a full no-trade clause, giving Arenado complete control over his future with the team.
Arenado, who was acquired by the Cardinals in a blockbuster trade with the Colorado Rockies in February 2021, has been an integral part of the team’s success since his arrival. In his first season with the Cardinals, Arenado hit .255 with 34 home runs and 105 RBIs, earning him his sixth career All-Star selection.
The signing of Arenado is a major coup for the Cardinals, who have been working tirelessly to build a championship-caliber team. With Arenado locked in at third base, the Cardinals now have a solid foundation to build around, and are well-positioned to make a deep run in the playoffs.
“We are thrilled to have Nolan as a part of our organization for years to come,” said Cardinals Chairman Bill DeWitt Jr. “He is an elite player who brings a level of intensity and passion to the game that is unmatched. We believe that he is a key piece of our championship puzzle, and we are excited to see what the future holds for him and our team.”
Arenado, who has been one of the most consistent and dominant hitters in the game over the past decade, expressed his excitement about the deal, saying, “I am truly humbled and grateful to the Cardinals organization for this incredible opportunity. From the moment I arrived in St. Louis, I knew that this was a special place, and I am thrilled to be able to call it home for years to come.”
The signing of Arenado is also a testament to the Cardinals’ commitment to building a winning team. With a strong core of players already in place, including Arenado, Paul Goldschmidt, and Jack Flaherty, the Cardinals are well-positioned to make a deep run in the playoffs for years to come.
“We are committed to building a championship-caliber team, and the signing of Nolan is a major step in that direction,” said Cardinals President of Baseball Operations John Mozeliak. “We believe that Nolan is a key piece of our championship puzzle, and we are excited to see what the future holds for him and our team.”
The Cardinals’ offer to Arenado is also a significant investment in the team’s future. With a total value of over $275 million, the deal is one of the largest in baseball history, and demonstrates the Cardinals’ commitment to building a winning team.
As the news of the signing spread, fans took to social media to express their excitement and gratitude to the Cardinals organization. “This is a huge day for the Cardinals and their fans,” said one fan. “Nolan is an incredible player, and I’m thrilled to see him locked in for years to come.”
With the signing of Arenado, the Cardinals have sent a clear message to the rest of the baseball world: they are committed to building a championship-caliber team, and they are willing to invest in the best players to make it happen. As the team looks to the future, one thing is clear: with Nolan Arenado leading the charge, the Cardinals are poised for greatness.
