Randy Arozarena Snapchat Fiasco

[TroutBaseball]

On the broadcast today Randazo said that Arozarena was traded by the Cardinals because he took a Snapchat video of Mike Shildt in the locker room. I could NOT find any information about this.  Does anyone know anything about this story?  Did Wayne just let out a story no one is supposed to talk about or did he confuse it for someone else?

 

Edit, I found this story about the video but can't find anything saying this provoked the trade. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/27809815/locker-room-video-shows-cardinals-manager-expletive-filled-speech

I remember Arozarena streaming/videoing Shildt’s speech, but I don’t know if that’s the reason why they traded him.

If it is true, I don’t think Wayne is telling tales out of school. It makes sense and if a broadcaster for another team heard it and said it, I’m sure the rumor has been spread by others before.

I was going to accuse you of starting drinking too early on a Friday, but...you're right.  I never heard of this before.

Yeah Mantle really sucked during that ‘61 season

Gene Leek would have gone on to a HOF career if that trade had happened.
