According to MLB insider John Denton, the Red Sox and Cardinals have continued trade discussions, with top prospect Blaze Jordan emerging as a potential piece in the deal. Jordan, 22, was drafted in the third round of the 2020 MLB Draft and has shown promise as a power-hitting corner infielder.

The Boston Red Sox still need another right-handed bat in the lineup, and could potentially fill that void with a trade for St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado.
