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.
Names possibly going to Rockies include LHP Austin Gomber, 1B Luken Baker, OF Jhon Torres. Return also might include RHP Jake Woodford or RHP Angel Rondón. Exact package not confirmed.
Deal unlikely to be official tonight and maybe even not this weekend. Arenado will need to formally waive his no-trade clause and his opt-out after 2021 also must be addressed. Approvals from MLB and union necessary as well, as reported in initial tweet.

It's legit:
Though Rosenthal goes on to say deal may not be official tonight or even this weekend. Arenado needs to waive his no-trade and his opt out after 2021 still needs to be ironed out. MLB and union have to approve it too.
EDIT: Sorry for the duplicate post.

Wow. Legit surprised and impressed
FV is a stat from Fangraphs that rates prospects on a 20-80 scale. 40 means guys that don't project to be starters.
In other words, Cardinals basically fleeced the Rockies on this one.
ESPN
"The St. Louis Cardinals have acquired third baseman Nolan Arenado in a trade with the Colorado Rockies, sources confirmed to ESPN's Jeff Passan on Friday.
The Rockies are getting multiple players in the deal and will send upward of $50 million to St. Louis, sources said.
The news was first reported by The Athletic.
Arenado, 29, is scheduled to make $35 million in 2021 as part of a $260 million, eight-year contract he signed with the Rockies in 2019. The deal includes an opt-out clause after the '21 season."

We were working on it at the same time. At least you could post the tweet. I can't because I don't have an account. Mine should be deleted.
There's a workaround for it.
Not sure Gorman is part of it !!

Goldy and Arenado lol

I think Mo was tired of taking his lumps. Thought he was do something
Rockies just love giving their best players to the Cardinals for basically nothing. Larry Walker, Matt Holliday, and now Nolen Arenado. Crazy.
The more I'm hearing about this deal, the more it just looks like an absolute home run. Arenado for essentially 6 yrs $150 million, and not giving up any top prospects? Yes please!
Should take Trevor Story off there hands too lol
While I am in favor of the deal, there are a lot of unknowns to consider as well.
It is possible that Nolan will be with St L for only 1 or 2 years.
It is possible that the combined career results for the players St Lou trades out perform Nolan.
Like so many hitters, his career splits away from Coors Field are much lower than at home.
If he walks, I wonder if the Cardinals will still get the full $50 mil from Colorado.
If he is ready next year does Nolan Carlson slide over to 2B?

He will have to compete with Dylan Gorman at 2nd. On a more serious note, if Arenado doesn’t exercise opt outs in 21 or 22, and Nolan Gorman’s bat plays we have several spots he might fill or he’d be trade bait.

1 or 2 years means he was very good, thinking he can get a better contract.
None of the projected trade candidates are considered lock to even be starters, let alone all stars.
True, but his numbers in the NL central are very good. Remember, LA, SD not good hitters parks.
Not disclosed yet, I would guess no, but, if we get some relief for the next 2 years, it wouldn't hurt.
Don't know Nolan Carlson.
It's a typo. I meant to say Nolan Gorman. I got distracted while typing it. My bad.
So this move means we don’t have to watch Carpenter’s slow play anymore?
Exciting times for us Illinois/Bird fans

Regarding Gorman, I am expecting the DH to be in the NL within 2 years. I could be very wrong about that, hope I am. I still appreciate the additional strategy involved with a pitcher listed in the batting order.
