Diamondbacks pitchers have thrown three no-hitters in franchise history, and the pitchers who threw them could not be any more different.

Getting the starting nod on Opening Day remains an honor in Major League Baseball that is given to the team's best pitcher. For the Diamondbacks, some years have been a no-brainer, while others have proven to be interesting decisions. Here's a look at every Opening Day starter in Arizona history

For Nolan Arenado, the trade that sent him from the Cardinals to the Diamondbacks is a fresh start that also has a homecoming feeling for him. The Diamondbacks acquired Arenado on Tuesday in exchange for Minor League right-hander Jack Martinez. Arizona also received cash in the deal to offset the

The D-backs agreed to a trade with the Cardinals for veteran third baseman Nolan Arenado, the clubs announced on Tuesday. St. Louis will receive 22-year-old right-hander Jack Martinez -- an eighth-round pick from the 2025 MLB Draft out of Arizona State -- in return. Arenado is owed $42 million over
