The St. Louis Cardinals have 11 World Series titles and are known as one of the best teams in recent MLB history.
Since winning the World Series in 2011, the Cardinals have made the postseason in eight of 13 seasons, but have missed the last two.
With the Cardinals rumored to be rebuilding in 2025, Nolan Arenado has become a potential trade candidate.
If traded, the 10-time Gold Glove third baseman would be willing to switch positions.
“Nolan Arenado is open to playing first base for a potential new team, according to Katie Wu (of The Athletic),” wrote B/R Walk-Off at X .

This isn’t the first time this offseason that a player has said he’s open to playing a different position with a new team.
Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Willie Adames also said he would move if the deal was right with a team that already has a solid roster.
Arenado entered the league in 2013 with the Colorado Rockies and played eight seasons before going to the Cardinals for the past four seasons.
In 2024, Arenado played in 152 games, batting .272 with 16 home runs, 71 RBI and a .719 OPS.
With the Cardinals rumored to be rebuilding over the next few seasons, it would make sense to trade Arenado to try to get a package in return.
The 33-year-old could be a target for teams looking to add a right-handed bat with some power, as he has hit at least 30 home runs in seven of his 12 MLB seasons.
