The Houston Astros have emerged as a \"serious suitor\" to acquire Nolan Arenado from the St. Louis Cardinals, according to a report.
The report from The Athletic states that no deal is imminent, but talks between the two clubs have picked up since last week\'s Winter Meetings.
Arenado has a full no-trade clause, and it\'s unclear if he would waive it to go to Houston.
The third baseman is owed $74 million across the next three seasons.
