The Yankees are still trying to trade Marcus Stroman and are willing to pay down his $18M salary. 

Should they save money there, the Yankees would have more to spend on an infielder — though don’t expect Alex Bregman or Nolan Arenado. 

While there’ve been reports of trade talks surrounding the Padres’ Luis Arraez, there isn’t believed much traction there.

Jorge Polanco, who played last season in Seattle after eight in Minnesota, is one possibility, as The Post’s Mark Sanchez reported. 

If there’s no Stroman deal, they’d still have spending money for an infielder, and the Rockies’ Brendan Rodgers and Paul DeJong, who ended last season with the Royals, are among decent options they’re considering. 

For now, recovering former star D.J. LeMahieu will be given a chance to win a starting spot.
