The outfielder would be a replacement for Stanton, as although he is a worse hitter than the slugger, he is a much better fielder and baserunner. Nootbaar\u00a0hit .244 with 12 home runs and 45 RBIs with the Cardinals in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>In return, the Yankees would deal Arias, who\u2019s the team\u2019s seventh-ranked prospect, according to\u00a0MLB Pipeline. Arias is a middle infielder who\u2019s 20 and reached A last season. He\u00a0hit .233 with 13 home runs and 74 RBIs\u00a0in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>St. Louis would also acquire Flores, who\u2019s the Yankees\u2019 17th-ranked prospect. Flores is a catcher and a first baseman and reached AA last season and is expected to reach the majors in 2026, according to MLB Pipeline. Flores\u00a0hit .279 with 21 home runs and 68 RBIs in 2024.<\/p>\n<h2>Analyst Explains Yankees Trading for Nootbaar<\/h2>\n<p>New York could use another outfielder due to the injury to Stanton.<\/p>\n<p>Mountz believes Nootbaar would be a good replacement for Stanton as he would be a low-cost acquisition. He also would give New York some depth behind\u00a0Jasson Dominguez.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs for the Yankees, trading for Nootbaar would also give them a reliable outfielder,\u201d Mountz\u00a0wrote. \u201cJasson Dominguez, who has struggled to adjust to left field, could spend some time at DH while he learns corner outfield defense in a way that creates less pressure for himself. New York might also find a suitable leadoff hitter in Nootbaar.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mountz believes Nootbaar would be the Yankees\u2019 top option for New York if they do look to make a trade to replace Stanton.<\/p>\n<h2>Stanton Expected to Miss Multiple Months<\/h2>\n<p>Stanton entered spring training with injuries to both of his elbows.<\/p>\n<p>Now, as Stanton has also suffered another injury, as MLB insider Jon Heyman reported the outfielder is dealing with a calf injury.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStanton is said to be dealing with a chronic calf issue as well as the elbow injuries,\u201d Heyman wrote\u00a0in his\u00a0<em>New York Post<\/em>\u00a0column.<\/p>\n<p>Heyman says the elbow issues were \u2018the bigger problem\u2019 as there is a scenario where he needs surgery and could miss multiple months and perhaps the season.<\/p>\n<p>Stanton, however, is hopeful his treatment and rehab will be enough as he\u2019s focused on returning as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet\u2019s finish the treatment and go from there,\u201d Stanton\u00a0said. \u201cI absolutely hate this. I\u2019m going to get back as soon as possible\u2026 It\u2019s going to get to a point of pain tolerance and go from there. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s going to be a 100 percent healed thing and start up. It\u2019ll be, get to a point and just deal with it, similar to last year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Stanton\u00a0hit .233 with 27 home runs and 72 RBIs last season with the Yankees.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Getty Yankees predicted to trade for outfielder to replace Giancarlo Stanton.
