The St. Louis Cardinals acquired third base superstar Nolan Arenado of the Colorado Rockies in a monstrous deal that sends a five-player package to the Colorado Rockies, including southpaw pitcher Austin Gomber, third baseman Elehuris Montero, infielder Mateo Gil and right-handed pitchers Tony Locey and Jake Sommers. The Rockies also agreed to send approximately $ 50 million to the cardinals to help pay Arenado’s future wages. The Cardinals then took $ 15 million from the deal and added another year to Arenado’s current contract. In addition, Arenado will maintain its opt-out clause after the 2021 and 2022 seasons, as well as its complete non-negotiation clause.
