Nolan Arenado Denies Playing Against Yankees Was \'Showcase\'
Posted: Thu Feb 27, 2025 3:29 am
Nolan Arenado says he didn\'t make the three-hour drive against the New York Yankees as a \"showcase\" for a potential trade. Arenado went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts. Arenado struck out on three pitches, lined out to second and whiffed on a 1-2 count.
\"My body is ready for it,\" he said. \"I\'m ready for nine. My timing [at the plate] is not.\"
\"I didn\'t come here for that,\" Arenado told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. \"Day 3 of spring training. That wouldn\'t be a good day to showcase myself. I\'m not ready for that.\"
Arenado is owed $74 million over the next three seasons and is on the trade market.
