The third baseman has been the subject of trade rumors. The Yankees have been one of the teams linked to him.<\/p>\n<p>After New York signed Paul Goldschmidt, many fans wondered if that would entice Arenado to waive his no-trade clause to join the Yankees. After posting a video on Instagram of him working out, Arenado started liking comments from Yankees fans.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Late last night, Nolan Arenado liked a few Yankees fans\u2019 comments urging him to push for a trade to the Bronx.<\/p>\n<p>Reports suggest Arenado could be open to waiving his no-trade clause to join the Yankees, who have been said to have interest in him, now that Goldschmidt is on board. pic.twitter.com\/vGHnVqgUFx<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Rod (@theyankscenter) December 22, 2024<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js<\/p>\n<p>One of the comments that Arenado liked said \u201cHow\u2019s the bat speed looking? You ready to be a Yankee.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another comment that Arenado liked said \u201cCome to New York baby I\u2019m a good luck sign we gon love u here and we got Goldy. Let\u2019s go you won\u2019t regret it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After Arenado liked those comments on his Instagram post, it further fueled speculation that he wants to be traded to the Yankees.<\/p>\n<p>Arenado is an 8-time All-Star, 10-time Gold Glover Winner, and 5-time Silver Slugger winner.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Yankees Made Trade Offer for Arenado<\/h2>\n<p>New York has shown interest in Arenado and even offered the St. Louis Cardinals a trade.<\/p>\n<p>According to an article on MLB.com, the Yankees are interested in Arenado. New York offered St. Louis a one-for-one swap of Marcus Stroman for Arenado which the Cardinals declined.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSources added that the veteran first baseman\u2019s potential presence in New York could have a strong influence on former teammate Nolan Arenado waiving his no-trade clause. And, agreeing to play for the Yankees if New York pursues a trade with St. Louis for the 10-time Gold Glove winner,\u201d the article read.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Yankees approached the Cardinals earlier this offseason about a deal for Arenado, sources said. But, they were rebuffed because St. Louis had no interest in taking on the contract of veteran right-handed pitcher Marcus Stroman.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Arenado hit .272 with 16 home runs and 71 RBIs last season.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Arenado Blocks Trade to Astros<\/h2>\n<p>The Cardinals had a deal in place with the Houston Astros. But, Arenado used his no-trade clause to block the deal.<\/p>\n<p>According to MLB.com, Arenado decided not to waive his no-trade clause as he wanted to keep his options open.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAccording to sources, the Astros and Cardinals were in discussions on a potential trade involving the third baseman,\u201d the report said. \u201cBut Arenado informed St. Louis that he will not waive his no-trade clause to go to Houston. The Cardinals were willing to send $15-20 million to the Astros as part of the deal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cardinals president of baseball operations John Mozeliak said trade talks involving Arenado continue to happen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll I can say is that we were in talks with multiple teams, and we still are. But, I have nothing pending,\u201d Mozeliak said. \u201cWe\u2019re still working on a lot of things, and hopefully we have clarity as we get into the new year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The eight-time All-Star is set to earn $74 million over the next three years.<\/p>\n<p>Cole Shelton Cole Shelton covers the NHL and MLB for Heavy.com.
