Miguel Sano honors Nelson Cruz by wearing his pants in game

Originally posted on Larry Brown Sports  |  By Larry Brown  |  Last updated 7/23/21

Miguel Sano paid tribute to his traded teammate on Thursday in an interesting way.

Nelson Cruz was traded to the Tampa Bay Rays in the biggest pre-deadline move so far. Sano was sad to see his former teammate go and honored Cruz by wearing the DH’s pants.

This isn’t exactly new for them, as they did a pants swap in February, though it went the other way around.

The pants brought Sano a little bit of luck. He went 1-for-3 with a walk, double and run scored in his Minnesota Twins’ 3-2 loss to the Angels.

Cruz, who was in his third season with Minnesota, made the All-Star team this season. Like Sano, he is from the Dominican Republic.
