The St. Louis Cardinals are in talks with the Colorado Rockies about the possibility of a blockbuster trade centered around Nolan Arenado, according to a report.

While no deal is close and one source indicated such a trade "might not happen at all," The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal wrote, other sources "believe the Rockies are motivated to move Arenado and the Cardinals are motivated to acquire him."

Arenado, 29, has six years and $199 million left on the extension he signed with the Rockies in February 2019.
