The St. Louis Cardinals are embarking on a stated reset as it transitions from longtime executive John Mozeliak to former Tampa Bay Rays and Boston Red Sox exec Chaim Bloom .

A winter dealing away veteran players seemed likely.

The Cardinals' roster is full of veterans who could help other teams.

But a funny thing happened on the way to trading Arenado , Gray , Miles Mikolas or catcher turned first baseman Willson Contreras : They didn't want to leave (at least not for teams that matched up with them).

Colorado Rockies' Nolan Arenado is hoping to return to All-Star form after a down year last season .

The Rockies' Dolan Arenado says he's moving better than ever at age 33 and wants to prove he's still a valuable player.

The Cardinals lost their first game of the season to the Angels on Tuesday .
