With just about 14 days until the start of spring training, the Yankees have a lot of options when it comes to infielders. As our writer Missy posted on Friday in TWO YANKEE BATTLES TO TAKE PLACE THIS SPRING TRAINING, infielders Tyler Wade and Thairo Estrada may get a shot to be replacement infielders but what if I told you to forget all that? What if the Yankees could tap the Colorado Rockies again for an infielder and this time it could be Nolan Arenado?
Wait, what...Giancarlo Stanton to the Rockies? Oh blessed redeemer, yes. I would really hate to see Urshela and Andujar go and this other idea of Stanton just sounds so much sweeter. But with Stanton's no trade clause and the fact that he loves being a Yankee, this deal is less likely, no matter how sweet.

"The 28-year-old Arenado is a five-time All-Star and seven-time Gold Glove winner. Arenado has at least 37 home runs and 110 RBI in each of last five seasons, making him a perennial National League MVP candidate," reports NJ.com. He also has a no-trade clause and there is a line of other teams in contention with the Yankees to grab Arenado.

If he was to come to New York and perform even close to his former teammate DJ LeMahieu, wow...I mean that would be incredible. We will keep an eye on developments. This is the kind of excitement and anticipation that the offseason is supposed to be about...not about cheaters who have consumed all of our brains and perhaps unnerved our passion for the game. Let's focus on the the anticipation of 2020 and it starts with the possibility of Arenado coming to the Bronx.

Stanton has a no trade clause, and if the Rockies are looking to trade Arenado it’s because of money. So Stanton for Arenado makes no sense
