After failing to make much trade progress elsewhere throughout January, the Cardinals reengaged the Red Sox, Yankees, and Dodgers about possible restructured deals for the star third baseman.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This would be the dream move for the Bronx Bombers. Not only could they acquire him for relatively cheap, but the Cardinals would likely be willing to eat a large chunk of the deal just to move on.<\/p>\n<p>It St. Louis eats half of Arenado&#8217;s contract, the Yankees could likely bring him in for a prospect ranked in the back half of their top 30.
