Red Sox, Yankees, and Dodgers in Tight Race for Nolan Arenado as Alex Bregman Sweepstakes Intensify

Boston weighs Arenado trade against Bregman signing while Yankees and Dodgers reenter negotiations with Cardinals before spring training.

The Boston Red Sox remain undecided between pursuing free agent Alex Bregman or trading for Nolan Arenado, with financial and roster implications influencing their decision.
Nolan Arenado has expressed interest in joining a contending team, with the Yankees, Dodgers, and Red Sox emerging as key suitors in ongoing trade talks with the Cardinals.
The Cardinals are seeking to offload Arenado’s contract to focus on rebuilding with younger talent but face challenges in negotiating financial terms with potential trade partners.
Bregman, represented by Scott Boras, is reportedly seeking a six-year, $200 million deal, which has narrowed his suitors to teams willing to meet his high asking price.
With spring training approaching, the Cardinals and Red Sox are under pressure to finalize decisions, while the Yankees and Dodgers explore their own options for acquiring Arenado.
