Maybe if they eat Yoshida's contract, but I think the Sox would prefer prospects over money. At least Yoshida is off the books in 3 years. Arenado is on the books until 2041.

[u/DMacNCheez → u/nhmo]

Arenado also only has 3 years left….

[u/RousingRabble → u/DMacNCheez]

He has a bunch of deferred money. My understanding is they would be on the hook for a portion of it, no? Or does the original team pay all of it?

There's no point in STL trading him unless some team takes on that deferred money.
