The Cardinals traded Nolan Arenado to the Diamondbacks for salary relief and pitching prospect Jack Martinez, ending a long saga; reports say the Padres were the other major suitor but wouldn’t absorb more of Arenado’s contract, and Arizona’s deal will pay just $5 million in 2026 and $6 million in 2027, underscoring Arenado’s down-market valuation despite his name.
The Cardinals traded Nolan Arenado and cash to the Diamondbacks for minor league right-hander Jack Martinez, with Arizona taking about $11M of Arenado’s remaining $42M over the next two years (Rockies paying $5M, Cardinals $26M).

St. Louis traded Nolan Arenado to Arizona, sending right-hander Jack Martinez and the D-backs’ eighth-round pick in return while covering $31 million of Arenado’s remaining $42 million.

Arenado, a 10-time Gold Glove winner, has a no-trade clause and is owed $74 million over the next three seasons, which the Astros want the Cardinals to help cover.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are not pursuing a trade for St. Louis Cardinals' third baseman Nolan Arenado, despite previous speculation. Dodgers GM Brandon Gomes confirmed Max Muncy will remain the team's third baseman. Arenado, who has a no-trade clause, is open to a move but seeks a team with consistent winning potential. The Dodgers' infield is set, and they are more focused on adding a corner outfielder. Arenado's recent performance and contract make him an unlikely fit for the Dodgers.
The Los Angeles Dodgers' potential trade for St. Louis Cardinals' Nolan Arenado seems unlikely after Dodgers GM Brandon Gomes indicated that Max Muncy is expected to remain the team's third baseman.
