The St. Louis Cardinals are rumored to be listening to offers on 3B Nolan Arenado. The 33-year-old is coming off arguably the worst hitting performance in his 12-season career. Why would the Cards do that at this time? And where could the Sandblaster be headed?

Finalists for the BBWAA awards have been announced and there are a few surprises, not to mention several players deserving of an award who will not receive it because of another superstar.

Plus, Carlos Estévez garners interest from the rest of MLB and Garrett Crochet becomes an interesting trade chip for the Chicago White Sox. Could the Colorado Rockies target the left-handed starting pitcher?

Roki Sasaki is the latest Japanese pitching phenom who is poised to take Major League Baseball by storm after success in NPB. How is his choice to come stateside like that of Shohei Ohtani in 2017? Is he as good as Yoshinobu Yamamoto? If so, why will Sasaki make less than $1 million in 2025?

The Colorado Rockies haven't had a Japanese-born player since Kaz Matsui in 2007. Despite the need to cut payroll, Sasaki won't break the bank. Could they end up with the largest international bonus pool and offer the 23-year-old more than any other MLB club?

Tropicana Field has been ravaged by Hurricane Milton and the news out of St. Petersberg isn’t very promising. The Tampa Bay Rays will almost certainly not play the Colorado Rockies on Opening Day 2025 at The Trop.

Plus, what impact does this have on the Savannah Bananas famous Banana Ball World Tour? How can you get tickets at Coors Field this summer to see them play? And could we see Deion Sanders, Troy Tulowitzki or Charlie Blackmon at the plate?

Colorado also loses Jacob Stallings to free agency. In a small free agent catching market, Stallings may force the Rockies to spend more than originally imagined with two rookie catchers waiting in the wings.
