Astros Reportedly Revisiting Trade Talks For Cardinals Third Baseman
During the offseason, the St. Louis Cardinals and the Houston Astros came to an agreement that would have sent Nolan Arenado to the Astros, but the Cardinals' third baseman blocked the deal with his no-trade clause.
With the trade deadline coming up on Thursday, MLB Insider Jon Morosi reported that the two teams have had discussions again, but there has been no traction just yet.
DENVER, COLORADO - JULY 22: Nolan Arenado #28 of the St. Louis Cardinals hits into a fourth inning run-scoring ground out against the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field on July 22, 2025 in Denver, Colorado.

The Cardinals were willing to send cash to help pay down Arenado's contract when the two teams were in discussions during the winter, but the decision to leave St. Louis is in the hands of their Gold Glove third baseman.
Now that the Cardinals have seen what their team is this season and with a new regime taking control next year, there may be a higher inclination to move Arenado at the trade deadline. The Astros have been riddled with injuries this season, and with the Texas Rangers and Seattle Mariners breathing down their neck in the standings, they have to be active to try and fend them off.
It is unclear whether the Cardinals will move Arenado, and his no-trade clause certainly limits the trade conversations that they have. If the Cardinals don't find a deal before Thursday's deadline, this will be a headlining topic in St. Louis during the winter.

2025 Arizona Cardinals Preseason Schedule: Dates, Times, TV Channels
National Football League 2025 Arizona Cardinals Preseason Schedule: Dates, Times, TV Channels Published Aug. 4, 2025 10:14 a.m. ET share facebook x reddit link The Arizona Cardinals enter the 2025 NFL preseason looking to build on last season's progress after posting an 8-9 record in 2024, yet falling short of a playoff berth. As Arizona aims to take the next step in 2025, here's a complete look at the Cardinals' 2025 preseason schedule, including dates, times and TV channels. Arizona Cardinals 2025 Preseason Schedule Kyler Murray hits Marvin Harrison Jr. on a 12-yard td pass, extending Cardinals' lead over 49ers | NFL Highlights How will the Cardinals do this season? Eric D. Williams predicts that the Cardinals will finish the year at 7-10. Here's Williams: "Arizona's defense should improve after adding edge rusher Josh Sweat , along with defensive tackles Dalvin Tomlinson and Calias Campbell in free agency. The Cardinals also selected six defensive players in the draft, led by first-round defensive tackle Walter Nolen and Michigan cornerback Will Johnson in the second round. Tight end Trey McBride deservedly got a lucrative new deal this offseason and is a star in the making. However, offensive coordinator Drew Petzing still needs to figure out how to get the most out of quarterback Kyler Murray and second-year pro Marvin Harrison Jr. With James Conner turning 30 this year, there are concerns about how well the physical running back will hold up." share

Cody Bellinger Offers 2-Word Response to Yankees' Recent Struggles
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The New York Yankees entered Monday going 25-29 since the start of June. They were just swept by the Miami Marlins and have fallen to third place in the American League East. The Yankees once looked set to run away with the AL East, but are now fighting to stay in the postseason picture. There is no single issue that one can point to and explain the Yankees' woes. One of their stars, Cody Bellinger, spoke on the team's struggles. "It's frustrating," Bellinger told the New York Post's Greg Joyce. NEW YORK, NEW YORK - JULY 29: Cody Bellinger #35 of the New York Yankees connects for his third inning three run home run against the Tampa Bay Rays at Yankee Stadium on July 29,... NEW YORK, NEW YORK - JULY 29: Cody Bellinger #35 of the New York Yankees connects for his third inning three run home run against the Tampa Bay Rays at Yankee Stadium on July 29, 2025 in New York City. MoreThe Yankees made key bullpen additions at the trade deadline, but they looked terrible in their debut over the weekend. Aaron Judge is currently on the injured list. Their Gold Glove shortstop has struggled on defense. The All-Star closer acquired in the offseason is having a career-worst year. All of these things have contributed to the Yankees being where they are now. "We had a great last series at home and come in here, Miami just swept us," Bellinger continued, per Joyce. "Got to look ourselves in the mirror, go to Texas and play baseball the way I know we can." The Yankees should be getting Judge back soon, and it's unlikely that David Bednar and Camilo Doval won't start pitching like the All-Stars they are. However, the Yankees will need to get things going soon if they want to be playing baseball in October. More MLB: Scary Red Sox Injury Update Reveals Rookie's Season Could Suddenly be Over
