PHOENIX — The Arizona Diamondbacks acquired eight-time All-Star third baseman Nolan Arenado from St. Louis on Tuesday for minor league pitcher Jack Martinez in a trade in which the Cardinals also are including $31 million.

A 10-time Gold Glove winner, Arenado has played for the Cardinals the past five seasons and was shopped extensively after the 2024 season by a rebuilding team.

Martinez was an eighth round pick by the D-backs out of Arizona State in 2025.

The 34-year-old isn’t the offensive force he used to be but will still provide a veteran presence at the position after the D-backs traded slugger Eugenio Suarez at last season’s trade deadline.

Arenado, a career .282 hitter, batted .237 with 12 homers and 52 RBIs last season.
