Multiple-time All-Star Nolan Arendao (Imagn)
St. Louis Cardinals star Nolan Arenado is one of the more talked about names this offseason, after Yankee Juan Soto and NPB ace Rokie Sasaki. The multiple-time All-Star is heavily rumored to be on the way out of St. Louis, given his expensive contract clashing with the team's future plans.
On the Foul Territory podcast featuring MLB insider Andy Martino, the pundit discussed the prospect of Arenado finding his way to the Big Apple. Martino said that both the Yankees and Mets are very well aware of going over the luxury tax line if and when they wish to sign the third base star.
"Yankees, Mets are cognizant of luxury tax line," Martino said (12:24).
After an underwhelming year, at least by his high standard, Nolan Arenado is pegged to be shipped elsewhere for next season. Martino also explained that even though the Yankees and the Mets are big-spending teams, they won't jump the gun in bad contracts.
