Breaking news: The New York Yankees announce a deal to sign three-time All-Star rather than Nolan Arenado to address their 3B issue.

The New York Yankees have been connected to Nolan Arenado trade speculations for weeks. However, a senior MLB insider in the area says there is an other multi-time All-Star who makes considerably more sense for the team despite the significant risks.

The 2025 MLB season is little over a month away, and the Yankees are the subject of a lot of enthusiasm. There is anticipation that the tale will be completed this year when the Pinstripes visited the World Series in October. They also made a number of offseason additions that likely improved their club, even if they lost Juan Soto to rivals the New York Mets.

Despite their excellence, the squad has a significant problem. That’s at third base, too. This season, Jazz Chisholm is returning to his customary position at second base after spending the 2024 season in the hot corner. LeMahieu, a 14-year veteran, will take his place at third. The 36-year-old only appeared in 67 games the previous season, and the Yankees have been connected to trade speculations involving Nolan Arenado this summer because of his recent physical issues.

Joel Sherman, an MLB source for the New York Post, said earlier this week that New York shouldn’t pursue Arenado. and instead go for Carlos Correa, a three-time All-Star, who is a riskier option.

Is a Carlos Correa deal something the New York Yankees should pursue?

“I believe the Yankees have a problem at third base. He started off by stating, “I believe it is a problem that they will need to solve from outside their organization.” However, I wouldn’t attempt to work things out with Arenado if I were the Yankees’ manager. For myself, I wouldn’t have ceased to call the Minnesota Twins. When you mention high-IQ baseball guys that I know could play in October and in New York, I have absolutely no worries about Correa either. However, there are likely still Yankees supporters who despise him. In any case.

It’s true that they detested Johnny Damon until he was sprinting to third base. I consider Correa to be a leader. An intelligent player. He still has a lot left, in my opinion. He appears to have mastered the art of managing [his injuries]. “He’s only about thirty,” he continued. Additionally, there are still four years remaining on that contract, which makes it extremely dangerous. I really like that player, therefore I would take that chance. If they were prepared to counter it, I would be ready to take that chance.

For example, they rescinded LeMahieu’s contract. Either they reclaimed [Marcus] Stroman’s contract, or they did both. since they are withdrawing $120 million. I’ll also present you with two prospects. Correa’s background with the contentious Houston Astros teams in the preceding decade and the medical troubles that ditched a huge contract with the Giants and Mets two years ago and valid worries. However, he does offer greater promise long-term than Arenado and his championship pedigree is evident.
