Nolan Arenado returns to Coors Field Tuesday night, 555 days since he was traded from the Rockies to St. Louis in a trade that shook Colorado baseball fans to their core and sparked World Series dreams for Cardinals nation.
Nolan is being, well, Nolan. On Monday, he was named National League player of the week for the second time this season.
As for the five players the Rockies received in the trade — left-hander Austin Gomber, corner infielder Elehuris Montero, infielder Mateo Gil and right-handers Tony Locey and Jake Sommers — their performance has been decidedly mixed.
