Diamondbacks’ Nolan Arenado Trade Comes With Cardinals Paying Most Salary

The D'backs' Arenado trade with St. Louis is done after he waived his no-trade clause. The Diamondbacks will pay just $5 million this season and $6 million in 2027, with the Cardinals covering the remainder. The discounted deal gives Arizona an elite glove at third while the Cardinals clear payroll for a broader 2026 reset going forward.
