Lars Nootbaar, the 28-year-old outfielder with Arizona roots and a Cardinals pedigree, is headed to the Diamondbacks in a trade that could pay off big — especially with his new buddy Nolan Arenado already on board. Despite recovering from heel surgery and not expected to be 100% for another year, Nootbaar’s ready to make an immediate impact as DH and left fielder, with a future in center. He’s thrilled to join a playoff-contending team with a winning culture, and even though he’s still healing, he’s focused on regaining speed and contributing to Arizona’s Wild Card push.
