$260 Million Star Infielder Fuels Trade Speculation to Yankees on Social Media

 

The New York Yankees have a need at third base and the team has been linked to star infielder Nolan Arenado.

Arenado is set to enter the sixth year of his eight-year $260 million deal. The third baseman has been the subject of trade rumors. The Yankees have been one of the teams linked to him.

 

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.

 

 

Late last night, Nolan Arenado liked a few Yankees fans’ comments urging him to push for a trade to the Bronx.

 

Another comment that Arenado liked said “Come to New York baby I’m a good luck sign we gon love u here and we got Goldy. Let’s go you won’t regret it.”

 

 

After Arenado liked those comments on his Instagram post, it further fueled speculation that he wants to be traded to the Yankees.

 

Arenado is an 8-time All-Star, 10-time Gold Glover Winner, and 5-time Silver Slugger winner.

 

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.
