The St. Louis Cardinals are navigating the complexities of a potential trade involving third baseman Nolan Arenado. Although Arenado expressed interest in joining the Boston Red Sox, the lack of enthusiasm from other teams and his hefty contract, which includes a no-trade clause and $74 million owed through 2027, suggest he may remain with the Cardinals. Meanwhile, the team is counting on Nolan Gorman to regain his power-hitting prowess after a lackluster 2024.
The New York Yankees are closely monitoring Jasson DomÃnguez, who showcased his potential by homering off Carlos Rodón during batting practice. For the Tampa Bay Rays, first baseman Yandy DÃaz and second baseman Brandon Lowe were previously considered trade candidates but are now reported as unavailable unless injuries prompt a change.
Jordan Montgomery of the Arizona Diamondbacks is in a critical position to secure a rotation spot after a disappointing 2024 season. He has picked up his player option for 2025 at $22.5 million and is heading into free agency. The Los Angeles Dodgers` James Outman faces challenges making the Opening Day roster, while the San Francisco Giants hope Marco Luciano can unlock his potential as he transitions to the outfield.
MLB trade market and players to prove are key themes this spring.
