Rumors around Arenado and the Yankees mostly stemmed from suspicion that the 10-time Gold Glove award winner made a three-hour trip to play against the Yankees in Tampa. Arenado did reject trades to the Los Angeles Angels and Houston Astros (who found their third base fix in Isaac Paredes, acquired in the Kyle Tucker trade).

The New York Yankees have seen an injury get "even worse" than they thought and are expected to execute a big trade.

The Chicago Cubs could desperately use a third base upgrade, but would they entertain a trade with their hated rival?
