The Nolan Arenado trade saga concluded with his move from the St. Louis Cardinals to the Arizona Diamondbacks for salary relief and minor leaguer Jack Martinez. The Oakland Athletics also pursued Arenado and had a deal in place, but it fell through due to his preference for the Diamondbacks or Padres. Despite the A’s interest in bolstering their roster ahead of their Las Vegas move, Arenado opted for a team with better playoff prospects. The A’s may now explore other options to upgrade at third base.
