Nolan Arenado traded to Diamondbacks, aims for bounce-back season.

Veteran third baseman Nolan Arenado, turning 35 in April, has been traded to the Arizona Diamondbacks, with the Cardinals covering $31 million of his remaining $42 million contract. After a career-worst 2025 season (.237 AVG, 12 HR, .666 OPS) and a strained shoulder, Arenado seeks a resurgence in his new home. He'll play for Team Puerto Rico in the WBC after not being selected for Team USA. With two years left on his deal, the 10-time Gold Glover is focused on proving he can still be a complete player.
