The St. Louis Cardinals made a last-minute adjustment to their lineup before the game, moving Nolan Gorman to third base and placing him in the sixth batting position due to back spasms. This sudden change sparked discussions regarding potential trades within the team.
As the season progresses, Nolan Arenado’s performance has been analyzed closely. So far this year, Arenado has participated in 34 games, hitting .256 with a .738 OPS, contributing nine doubles, three home runs, 14 RBIs, 16 runs scored, and a stolen base. This marks his 13th season in Major League Baseball, where he boasts a career batting average of .284 and an OPS of .855.
With an impressive track record, Arenado has accumulated 396 doubles, 33 triples, and 344 home runs over his career, alongside 1,146 RBIs and 960 runs scored. During his tenure with the Cardinals, now in his fifth year, he has appeared in 635 games, hitting .270 with a .794 OPS, including 134 doubles and 109 home runs.
The team and fans remain hopeful that Arenado can regain his form soon, potentially turning the tide for the Cardinals this season. The speculation surrounding possible trades adds an intriguing layer to the team’s dynamics as they look to solidify their roster moving forward.
