This week's mailbag addresses various inquiries regarding the Yankees, particularly focusing on the potential trade for Nolan Arenado and the financial implications for the team. Despite interest in Arenado, the Yankees are currently over the competitive balance tax threshold and have expressed financial concerns about sustainability and payroll levels. Additionally, discussions touch on how players like Marcus Stroman might factor into trade scenarios, and the overall need for the Yankees to balance competitiveness with fiscal responsibility.
With Volpe at short, the infield should be sound defensively.
Stroman is not directly tied to Arenado. The Yankees may simply eat, say, $10-12MM of the $18MM owed to him.
