There is no way Alex Rodriguez can stay off the news. One way or another, he has involved himself in the world of MLB even years after his tenure as a player. Now, in association with FOX News, he has shared some perspectives on a Texan that has gathered mixed reactions from fans.
When it comes to the New York Yankees, none other than Gerrit Cole stands as a man with a great arm. But quite contrary to common opinion, A-Rod has supported and praised a Texas Ranger. He had a lot to share about this 33-year-old. But is it worth it putting him on the pedestal being a Yankee himself?

Recently in conversation with Derek Jeter, David Oritz, and another MLB analyst, Alex Rodriguez spoke at length about Nathan Eovaldi. His words had a good backing of 25 years of his observation. He said, “I’ve never seen a better arm, I’ve never seen a better worker”, with that he received some affirmative nods. However, one question remains unanswered. How did he forget the Yankee Gerrit Cole?

A-rod also highlighted Eovaldi’s impressive record against the Orioles. Given his apparent dominance against the Baltimore Orioles, Eovaldi is the best choice for Tuesday’s Game 3 matchup. The Rangers could be headed for a three-game sweep based on his past performance.
While his contribution remains staggering for the World Series favorite, it is important to note that he was absent for a month due to a right forearm strain. While the Rangers grappled to stay in the form then, they now are backed by Eovaldi’s strength. With that, here’s what the fans had to say.
Fans Flooded Social Media With Their Tweets
The lovers and haters of A-Rod are not ones to be undermined. There was a flood of comments on Twitter after A-Rod’s opinion on Nathan came out.

There were fans who were brutal to A-Rod. They said, “He’s lied”.
How does Derek Jeter sit on the same set with Arod? Who believes or better yet wants to listen to anything he says? He’s lied, cheated, and whatever else he’s done to whomever his entire days. He’s fallen in 💩 and come out smelling like a 🌹
