It remains uncertain what could happen, but if one thing is for certain, it's that the Yankees need a third baseman. They can't continue to allow DJ LeMahieu to play second base and Jazz Chisholm Jr. to play third. LeMahieu needs to be out of the lineup, and adding Arenado would help them solve that.

The New York Yankees are "starting to make calls" as the team searches for a third baseman prior to the July 31 trade deadline, according to Jon Heyman of the New York Post.
