Recently, Nolan Arenado of the St. Louis Cardinals denied that he made the trip to Tampa for the matchup between St. Louis and New York as a way to showcase himself to the Yankees. However, Zachary D. Rymer of Bleacher Report cast doubt on that claim.

The New York Yankees will likely remain in pursuit of All-Star Nolan Arenado as long as he remains on the trade block.

The New York Yankees came into spring training without an unquestioned starter at third base. Unfortunately for Aaron Boone's club, one of his top options for Opening Day suffered an injury this weekend.

The St. Louis Cardinals tried all offseason long to trade Nolan Arenado, but their chances took a major hit when Alex Bregman signed a three-year deal with the Boston Red Sox. Arenado's trade list was quite limited, as it only featured four other teams in addition to Boston. The New York Yankees were one of them.
