After spending much off the offseason trying to trade Nolan Arenado, St. Louis Cardinals president of baseball operations John Mozeliak admits it would be awkward if the third baseman arrives in camp Monday.

Typically we spend a lot of time rehashing all of the accomplishments of the offseason, so this will be brief,” he told media as spring training opened Wednesday.

Neither Arenado nor Mozeliak has set a deadline for a decision. Both are prepared to wait out Alex Bregman's next move.
