The Arizona Diamondbacks are acquiring eight-time All-Star infielder Nolan Arenado from the St. Louis Cardinals, according to a report from ESPN's Jeff Passan. Arenado waived his no-trade clause to complete the deal. Katie Woo of The Athletic was the first to report that the deal was close.
The Cardinals are receiving 2025 eighth-round pick Jack Martinez, a right-handed pitcher, in the deal with Arizona. In addition, the Cardinals are paying $31 of the remaining $42 million in the final two years of Arenado's contract, per Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic.
