Red Sox fans raised their eyebrows Friday night when a rumored trade target posted a seemingly random highlight.
The St. Louis Cardinals openly want to trade Nolan Arenado but haven’t been able to find the right suitor or terms to get a deal done. The feeling might be mutual from the Gold Glove third baseman who reportedly is “highly, highly motivated” to join Boston, which he’d waive his no-trade clause for.
That’s why it was interesting when Arenado posted a Manny Ramirez highlight on his Instagram story. What was interesting was that the 33-year-old threw back to when the Red Sox legend played for the then-Cleveland Indians. There’s no shortage of epic moments from Ramirez’s Boston career, but that didn’t stop the Fenway Faithful from speculating.
Of course, a cynic could point out that Ramirez also played for the Los Angeles Dodgers, another team Arenado reportedly has an interest in playing for.
The no-context social media post did come at an opportune time as the Cardinals reportedly “reengaged” in trade talks with the Red Sox, Dodgers and New York Yankees. It seems like Arenado hopes these renewed talks will be successful and he’ll find a new home before spring training begins.
