The Nolan Arenado trade has been a hot topic since it went down, but as we look back four years later, it seems the narrative is shifting. Was it really a win for the St. Louis Cardinals, or has it turned into a mutual loss for both the Cardinals and the Colorado Rockies?
Arenado was supposed to be the cornerstone that would lead St. Louis back to the World Series, yet here we are, with the Cardinals struggling to find a way to offload him. The fact that they might have to send cash along with him just to make a deal happen is a stark reminder of how quickly fortunes can change in baseball.
What do you think? Did the Cardinals overestimate Arenado's impact? Or was the trade simply a victim of circumstance, with the team unable to capitalize on his talent?
Moreover, how do you feel about the Rockies' decision to part ways with a franchise player? Could they have done better in the long run by keeping him, or was it the right move given their struggles?
Let’s also consider the broader implications of this trade. How does it reflect on the current state of player value in MLB? Are teams too quick to pull the trigger on big trades without considering the long-term consequences?
Share your thoughts, predictions, and any personal experiences with trades that left you questioning your team's strategy. Is there a lesson to be learned from the Arenado saga?
