Why the Yankees should steer clear of 34-year-old veteran 3B

The New York Yankees are just weeks away from having pitchers and catchers report, and they’ve yet to land a capable infielder for their roster. While the team is searching for options for their infield, one name that they’ve stayed away from for the most part remains out there: Nolan Arenado. He would be an upgrade over DJ LeMahieu or Oswaldo Cabrera because of his elite glove, but is that enough to stomach taking on the $52 million over three years left on his deal? A star in a clear decline, Arenado’s swing and profile don’t play at Yankee Stadium, and they should steer clear of him.
