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.

According to MLB insider John Denton, the two sides have continued conversations surrounding an Arenado trade, and one player that the Cardinals have discussed as a potential return in any deal is Red Sox prospect Blaze Jordan.

"While signing free agent Alex Bregman remains an option, the Red Sox reportedly prefer to take on Arenado's remaining contract rather than dish out the big money that Bregman and agent Scott Boras are seeking on the open market," Geagan wrote.
