Arizona Diamondbacks Trade for St. Louis Cardinals' Nolan Arenado
- On Jan 13, 2026 the Arizona Diamondbacks acquired third baseman Nolan Arenado from the St. Louis Cardinals, sending prospect Jack Martinez while the Cardinals included $31 million to facilitate the trade.
- With the Cardinals rebuilding, St. Louis had been trying to move Nolan Arenado for at least the past two offseasons, and Arenado waived his no-trade clause on this deal after vetoing a Houston Astros trade last winter.
- Under the contract, Nolan Arenado has two years left on a $42 million deal, with salaries of $27 million this year and $15 million in 2027; last season he hit.237 with 12 homers and 52 RBI in 401 at-bats.
- Arizona views the move as adding a veteran presence to fill the vacancy left by Eugenio Suárez, while Cardinals president Chaim Bloom praised Arenado's five years and said it creates opportunities for other players.
- The Diamondbacks will pay just $11 million—$5 million this year and $6 million next year—of Arenado's $42 million contract, Katie Woo, reporter who first reported, confirmed on Jan 13, 2026.
