Cardinals receive:
3B Nolan Arenado
CL Wade Davis

Rockies receive:
SP Ryan Helsley (#4 prospect)
OF Ryan Arozarena (#6 prospect)
RF Dexter Fowler
C Carson Kelly
SP Luke Weaver

This trade fills the Cardinals two biggest needs of this offseason with a third baseman and star closer. The large haul heading to Colorado would help the team with a quick retool, giving them 4 young players along with Dexter Fowler, who spent his first 6 years in the MLB with the Rockies. With Arenado only having one year left on his deal, this trade makes a lot of sense, giving the Cardinals a solidified superstar and much needed closer, while the Rockies receive young assets for the future.

*Randy Arozarena my bad.

I think it's close. I think Knizner or Gorman probably need to be included.

Also, adding in Fowler diminishes the value of the trade. The Cardinals could take Davis without adding Fowler.

I think including Fowler tanks this trade. I also think one of their top guys has to be heading back to Colorado as well. These guys might be top 6 for the Cards, but neither is in the MLB top 100. It might only be a year of control for Arenado, but he's a perennial MVP candidate at this point.
