With the Cardinals struggling to move Nolan Arenado, St. Louis and their front office have reportedly re-engaged the Yankees, Dodgers, and Red Sox regarding a new kind of trade structure according to John Denton of MLB.com. While they had originally approached teams with an unwillingness to eat a significant portion of the money, this time around they’re more open to the idea of eating salary in order to facilitate a deal.
ESPN’s Jorge Castillo recently reported that the Yankees aren’t considering a pursuit of Arenado, so perhaps those conversations were shortlived.
