Additionally, the New York Yankees have been considering Arenado. The Yanks have made significant trade deals but still seem to have some extra cash. That said, they are expected to offer the Cardinals a deal.

The Cardinals will listen to offers, but it’s left up to Arenado to decide where he wants to go. With the Yankees and Red Sox behind him, there is a high possibility that Arenado will sign with another team.
