BREAKING: Cardinals have agreed to acquire Nolan Arenado from Rockies, sources tell
@TheAthletic
. Deal pending approval from both MLB and players’ union; Rockies sending Cardinals significant cash, believed to be in $50M range, and Arenado will be deferring money.

edit: if this trade doesn't happen, it's A-Rod to Red Sox 2.0

With 50mil coming with him, I'm nervous who the cardinals are giving up. Hoping not Gorman, Thompson, or liberatore but id be surprised if they avoided it.

Hoping it's just a bunch of high upside guys in low A

PRetty sure the 50m is tiered over the contract. If he opts out after 1 season, Colorado doesnt send any money.

Also, sounds like Cardinals didnt give up any studs. Luken and another Im drawing a blank on.

If we didn't give up any of our top 4 prospects, then the worst case scenario of 1yr of arenado is still worth it

Well, arenado the player is worth alot, but his contract isn't. If he plays well, you risk him opting out. If he doesn't play well, you risk an albatross contract.

Still, with the money kicked in im surprised they didn't get more, but not much more.


Arenado also held the leverage with a no trade clause.

Yea, overall I think it was a great deal for both teams. Could be 1 and done, Colorado got 4 guys (and I like Luken personally) and he opts in, The cardinals got a player at market value after you factor in that 50m kick.
