At 34 years old, the 10-time Gold Glove winner and the eight-time All-Star had spent the last five MLB seasons with the St. Louis Cardinals before being traded away in a blockbuster deal this past January<\/a>.<\/p>\n Of course, the bleached blonde hair is a tradition for the Puerto Rican team (a.k.a Team Rubio), which began nearly a decade ago in 2017 to emphasize unity and style. But with Arenado, the hairdo may take some getting used to.<\/p>\n
