The St. Louis Cardinals' rebuilding plan includes potentially trading star third baseman Nolan Arenado.

"[Having Arenado remain a Cardinal] is a possibility, but I'm not sure that puts us where we want to be," team president John Mozeliak said Monday at MLB's winter meetings in Dallas. "From a financial standpoint of trying to move our payroll, there are certainly other ways to do that, but [dealing Arenado] would be a big help. It's financial, but it also creates a runway for someone else."
