According to Buster Olney of ESPN, the Yankees have not been engaged by the Cardinals in trade conversations regarding Nolan Arenado even after the signing of Alex Bregman.
Jack Curry and Andy Martino are two of the closest insiders to the Yankees’ organization, and they’ve both stated numerous times that pursuing Nolan Arenado would be highly unlikely as they hadn’t pursued him seriously at any point this winter. Despite the need for a third baseman, the Yankees would be far more comfortable rolling the dice on what they have internally than they would be paying Arenado over the next three seasons.
