Arenado`s trade talks heat up as MLB spring training begins, with key players like Marte and Guerrero Jr. under scrutiny.

MLB spring training has kicked off, bringing with it a flurry of trade speculation. Nolan Arenado of the St. Louis Cardinals is under the spotlight despite his no-trade clause and hefty contract. The New York Yankees could emerge as a potential trade partner if they can offer a better deal than Marcus Stroman.

Starling Marte of the New York Mets, earning $20.8 million in 2025, may also be on the move, especially if the Mets are willing to absorb some of his salary. Teams like the Kansas City Royals and Detroit Tigers are reportedly interested in acquiring his services.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. of the Toronto Blue Jays has set a February 18 deadline for a contract extension, and while a trade is unlikely due to the Blue Jays` competitive aspirations, it remains a possibility if negotiations falter. Bo Bichette, also from the Blue Jays, faces pressure to rebound after a disappointing 2024 season marred by injuries.

Jackson Holliday of the Baltimore Orioles is looking to bounce back after a challenging rookie year, while Brandon Woodruff of the Milwaukee Brewers is recovering from shoulder surgery and needs to regain his form ahead of free agency. James Outman of the Los Angeles Dodgers is fighting for a spot on the Opening Day roster after a lackluster 2024.

Juan Soto, now with the New York Mets, is projected to have a significant impact in 2025, while other notable player movements include Kyle Tucker and Garrett Crochet. The upcoming season promises to be pivotal for many players as they aim to secure their futures in the league.
