Arenado didn't view Yankees game as 'showcase' The Yankees have been connected in trade rumors to Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado throughout the offseason, but the veteran third baseman told reporters on Wednesday that he didn't view his spring training game against New York was a "showcase" of any sort.

Cardinals star Nolan Arenado denied his three-hour trip to Tampa to play vs. the Yankees was a showcase for a potential trade suitor.

Cardinals star third baseman Nolan Arenado has been on the trading block since the winter and drove across the state of Florida to play a spring traning game Wednesday against the Yankees, who may be interested before the regular season begins.
