According to a recent report from MLB.com’s John Denton, that was something that came up during the deadline. Denton reported that the star third baseman and president of baseball operations, John Mozeliak, had a talk before the deadline, and Arenado wasn’t willing to change his stance on where he wanted to be traded.

The St. Louis Cardinals traded Ryan Helsley, Phil Maton, and Steven Matz at the trade deadline, but they opted to hold onto several players with team control.
