St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado posted a collection of family-and-friend photos on his Instagram account over the weekend that gave us a loom at his offseason life in his hometown Los Angeles area. The photos were lovely and reflected the sentimental, warm feelings that are part of the holiday season.

So what's up with this? Why am I doing a video on Arenado's family excursion to an amusement park in LA? Because Arenado added music to his photo collection -- and it just happened to be a new track from 17-time Grammy Award winner Kendrick Lamar. Arenado's choice of song: "Dodger Blue" which is Lamar's ode to Los Angeles -- his home. And his heart.

Was Arenado trying to tell us something? Is he headed to the Dodgers in a trade with the Cardinals? Was he dropping a hint that a trade was close? Was he sending a message on his desire to get traded from St. Louis to LA? Or was Arenado just trying to stir things up, just to have fun? Or maybe he just really loves the Lamar's track.

I discuss all of this in today's video. And as a bonus, I throw in some other songs to fit potential cities where Arenado could land in a trade. Than just trying to show his appreciation
