The Red Sox could move forward with Arenado at third, Devers as their DH and Casas at first base for the three years remaining on Arenado’s contract without disrupting anything related to the development of Campbell, Marcelo Mayer or Roman Anthony. That’s no small thing in the attempt to get more functional.

The Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees have been listed as potential suitors for third baseman Nolan Arenado who is looking to get out of St. Louis. With the Cardinals on the brink of a rebuild, the veteran third baseman is seeking to find himself on a playoff contedning team.
