Trading away Nolan Arenado signals a huge shift for the Cardinals, but it’s not just about losing a big name. St. Louis is betting on young pitcher Jack Martinez, whose strikeout numbers in college hint at serious potential—even if his ERA doesn’t wow you yet. More importantly, this move frees up money and, maybe even bigger, hundreds of at-bats for emerging hitters like Jordan Walker and Nolan Gorman. It’s a tough goodbye, but the Cardinals are clearly looking to the future. How do you feel about St. Louis moving on from a franchise cornerstone for a fresh start? #Sports #Baseball #Cardinals
