Nolan Arenado is on the trade block, the Yankees have reportedly never seriously pursued him, and they also aren’t in a financial situation where adding his contract makes much sense.
John Denton of MLB.com reported last night that talks between the Cardinals and Yankees were expected to intensify after Alex Bregman signed with the Red Sox. Not only does this fail to pass the sniff test, but trusted NY reporters such as Jack Curry and Andy Martino deny that the team intends to add him to the roster.
The Yankees need an infielder as we sit a week away from Opening Day, but despite the Bombers’ situation, they should steer clear of trading for Arenado barring an offer they cannot refuse.
