Cardinals–Diamondbacks Nolan Arenado Trade Already Looks Lopsided
Over the last few days, we have taken a look back at the St. Louis Cardinals' significant trades of the offseason.
So far, we've already broken down the Willson Contreras, Sonny Gray and Brendan Donovan deals. The last one — and the one that seemingly was the most difficult to get done — was sending Nolan Arenado to the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Let's take a look back on the deal with the Cardinals sitting at 10-8 and Arizona sitting at 11-8.
The Cardinals received 23-year-old right-handed hurler Jack Martinez in return for Arenado and significant cash. Right now, Martinez is down with Class-A Palm Beach and has a 1.29 ERA in two starts. But the point of this deal wasn't necessarily what the club got back. Martinez has been solid down in Class-A, but he's a long way from the majors.
Nolan Arenado News: Getting breather Thursday
Arenado is absent from the lineup for Thursday's tilt against the Mets.
Arenado's tenure in Arizona has not gotten off to the best start, as he's just 8-for-40 with no home runs and a 1:10 BB:K. Jose Fernandez will play third base and bat fifth for the Diamondbacks in Arenado's stead.

Nolan Arenado's start with Diamondbacks is exactly what Cardinals fans knew would happen
The Nolan Arenado trade between the St. Louis Cardinals and Arizona Diamondbacks put an unceremonious end to the legendary third baseman's tenure in the Gateway City, as the Redbirds ate nearly 75% of his remaining salary while receiving just a mid-level pitching prospect (Jack Martinez) in return. It was a necessary step in the rebuild, but one filled with regrets.
Well, those regrets may be short-lived. While former teammates Sonny Gray and Willson Contreras tear it up in Boston, Arenado is off to the slowest start of his career in Arizona. Though the D-backs are off to a 9-7 start, prior to last night's two-home run performance against the Orioles, the 34-year-old was hitting just .180/.192/.200 in 14 games. His 7 wRC+ means that he's been 93% worse than league average at the plate this year. It's safe to say there may be more than a little buyer's remorse in that front office right now.
