The St. Louis Cardinals have informed third baseman Nolan Arenado that they will do everything possible to trade him this winter, and have even granted permission to his agent to help facilitate a deal.

All-Star third baseman would consider invoking his no-trade rights if Cardinals find a deal that he considers a 'sidestep,' his representative Joel Wolfe says.

Arenado, who has a full no-trade clause, is ready to facilitate a deal and even willing to change positions if that gets him where he wants to go. This is according to Arenado's agent, Joel Wolfe, who spoke with reporters Tuesday at the winter meetings in Dallas.
