Cardinals Gold Glove winner Nolan Arenado had high praise by manager Oli Marmol about how he's handled the trade rumors.

All-Star third baseman Nolan Arenado only had one request if the St. Louis Cardinals traded him this offseason. Arenado told Cardinals president of baseball operations John Mozeliak he’d accept a trade to one of five teams: the Los Angeles Dodgers, Boston Red Sox, New York Yankees, San Diego Padres, and Houston Astros.

Back in December, news broke that the Cardinals and Astros agreed to a trade that would have sent All-Star third baseman Nolan Arenado to Houston. Arenado used his no-trade rights to veto the deal and both sides moved on.
