MLB Rumors: Cardinals Engaged in 'Preliminary' Trade Talks for Arenado ,

Check out the latest rumors and notes from around MLB.

The St. Louis Cardinals have engaged in "preliminary" trade talks with the Colorado Rockies for third baseman Nolan Arenado, according to MLB Network's Jon Morosi.

St. Louis has emerged as a "viable suitor" for Arenado as the Cardinals are reportedly looking to add another star position player before Spring Training begins in February.

Arenado is entering the second season of his eight-year, $260 million extension with the Rockies. The five-time All-Star and seven-time National League Gold Glove Award winner has a full no-trade clause included in his contract.

As Spring Training draws near, here are the latest rumors around MLB.

• The Cardinals may be more likely to sign outfielder Nicholas Castellanos than to re-sign Marcell Ozuna since Castellanos is not tied to draft-pick compensation. (Ken Rosenthal, MLB Network)
