Oswaldo was out, and Oswald was in at the very last moment. Nobody knew where he exactly went until a social media post took over the internet. The Yankees third baseman was scratched from the Spring lineup at the last minute, and it got the fans talking.
Cabrera was initially set to start at third base for the Yanks against the Detroit Tigers. But later became the center of attention for social media fans. While fans were concerned about his injuries, team manager Aaron Boone clarified that Cabrera’s absence was due to an illness rather than an injury.
However, it was Cabrera’s proposal to his girlfriend, Ari Gonzalez, that stole the show. He got his fans reeling on social media as soon as the video went viral. Ari shared the beautiful moment on her Instagram when the star righty was on his knees proposing to her.
Though it was not a rare sight for his fans as Oswaldo and his love interest have been clicked on multiple occasions other than baseball matches. While the team needs his services in the infield, the young MLB star seems to take some time out of the mound to prioritize his personal life.
