Arenado announced Wednesday that he won't exercise his opt-out clause after the season and will remain with the Cardinals for 2022, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Arenado has another opt-out following the 2022 campaign, though it appears he'll also turn that down to remain in St. Louis when the time comes. Things can change over the course of a year, but at this point it's been a perfect fit between Arenado and the Cardinals in Year 1 after he was acquired from the Rockies in February. The 30-year-old is hitting .256/.313/.499 with 34 home runs, 34 doubles, 105 RBI and 80 runs in 153 games this season. He's not in the lineup for Wednesday's matchup with the Brewers after the Cardinals secured their spot in the playoffs Tuesday.
