Early reports indicated the Cardinals declined the Yankees' trade offer involving Marcus Stroman and Nolan Arenado, as the Cardinals were uninterested in acquiring Stroman.
The Yankees remain interested in acquiring Paul Goldschmidt, believing that signing him could encourage Arenado to waive his no-trade clause to reunite with Goldschmidt.
While Goldschmidt is likely to ask for a multi-year contract, his 2023 performance, which included career-low strikeout and walk rates, complicates the request.
The Yankees are considering pursuing a more affordable free agent option for first base rather than paying top dollar for players like Pete Alonso or Christian Walker.
