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.

After unsuccessfully trading Nolan Arenado, the star third baseman has been placed on the 10-day injured list due to a shoulder injury. It still remains somewhat uncertain what the St. Louis Cardinals tried to do at the deadline, but they certainly didn't do enough.
