By Robbie Stratakos | Last updated 2/2/21 One week ago, the St. Louis Cardinals were in a state of uncertainty. This week they’re a World Series contender thanks to their recent blockbuster trade for star third baseman Nolan Arenado. According to MLB Network’s Mark Feinsand, the Cardinals will send the Colorado Rockies left-hander Austin Gomber, right-handers Tony Locey and Jake Sommers, and infielders Elehuris Montero and Mateo Gil for Arenado. Meanwhile, Colorado will reportedly eat $51 million of the remaining $199 million on the third baseman’s contract. It’s difficult to overstate the impact this trade has on the Cardinals: it’s monumental from every aspect of the game.
