I think a main reason was that they switched back to this perfect color palette:

A Cavan Biggio level SS and the 9th and 10th best prospects in the Mets system, for a premiere shortstop and a strong middle of the order bounce back candidate.

Prices are really low this offseason.

The Blue Jays could have used a third baseman

That’s bananas. There’s got to be more to the story on Arenado as it’s hard to believe his stock has fallen that far. Even taking into account the Coors field factor, he has arguably been the best third baseman in the league the last 5 seasons. So it’s odd for the Rockies to be shipping him out with a brinks truck and Arenado to be deferring salary too.

Edit: After listening to Rosenthal break down the trade a little more it’s starting to make sense. Arenado had a no trade clause with an opt out after the 2021 season. Thoughts were that he was going to opt out and would likely walk during free agency. So now the Cardinals take the risk of the opt out and basically sold some mid tier prospects for the 50million. Still a bonkers deal and good for St Louis for landing a massive fish.

Interesting that in the restructuring they added another opt-out in '22 and another year in '26. The Cardinals have to dodge two bullets now. Or restructure again.

The Mets fired GM Jared Porter based on his interactions with one woman. The Angels now face the question of what to do about pitching coach Mickey Callaway based on his interactions with five women. Jesus christ what a real creep.

I mean he has been great, no doubt, but he still hasn't even played a full season game wise. If he falls off this will be way up there for worst contract in history

Baseball just continue to out-absurd itself.

Not hard to understand why its popularity is in the tank compared to a generation ago and even worse going back further.
