Cardinals president of baseball operations John Mozeliak acknowledged that the Cardinals are interested in trading Nolan Arenado.
"Ultimately, he's not demanding a trade. He's not telling me I have to do it, "Mozeliak said. "But I think in the best interest of both sides, I'd like to find him someplace." It's no secret that the Cardinals have been shopping Arenado, but it's still interesting to hear their preference out loud. The 34-year-old remains a defensive stalwart, but his offense has declined the last two years with a career-worst .719 OPS in 2024. Still, there should be interest in Arenado on the market, even if St. Louis needs to eat a bit of money to get the deal done.

Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports that the Cubs are showing interest in A.J. Minter.
Minter is a free agent who forged a 2.62 ERA and 35/11 K/BB over 34 1/3 innings before undergoing season-ending surgery on his left hip. The 31-year-old would be a boost for a Cubs' bullpen that has already traded for Eli Morgan and has shown interest in several other bullpen options on the open market.

Bobby Nightengale of the Minnesota Star Tribune reports that the Twins have received calls in regards to a potential trade of Carlos Correa.
Nightengale doesn't indicate that there's any sign of a potential deal, but it's still an interesting idea for a club that reportedly needs to trim payroll. Correa is owed over $120 million over the next four seasons, and while he's been a productive player when healthy, he's been limited to 221 games over the last two years because of injuries. Because of his skill set, Correa would certainly see interest on the trade market, but his contract and durability may make the return lighter than the Twins would be hoping for.

Twins signed RHP Huascar Ynoa to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.
Ynoa represents a fascinating low-risk gamble for Minnesota as extra organizational depth after being non-tendered last month by the Braves. The 26-year-old righty hasn't appeared in the majors since undergoing Tommy John surgery back in 2022 and the strikeouts simply weren't there in the minors last year upon returning to the mound. He's the definition of a reclamation project for the Twins heading into 2025.
