Diamondbacks Trade for Outfielder Lars Nootbaar From Cardinals
Arizona sent three players to St. Louis for the left-handed outfielder, who gives the club a controllable bat through 2027.
- On Monday, the Arizona Diamondbacks acquired outfielder Lars Nootbaar from the St. Louis Cardinals, sending Double-A prospect Daniel Eagen, reliever Sandro Santana, and a player to be named later to St. Louis.
- Arizona sought left-handed hitting depth to bolster its National League wild-card push, with Nootbaar remaining under club control through the 2027 season for more than a short-term solution.
- After missing two months recovering from heel surgery, Nootbaar has appeared in 48 games this season and is batting.234 with three home runs and 16 RBIs.
- Diamondbacks general manager Mike Hazen acknowledged the team was "in on everything" regarding starting pitchers but could not finalize additional deals, constrained by remaining within $10 million of the luxury tax threshold.
- The Diamondbacks will rely on their current rotation until injured starters including Justin Martinez and Michael Soroka return in the coming weeks, with Zac Gallen and Ryne Nelson also expected to rejoin barring setbacks.
