NORTH PORT, FLORIDA — Oswaldo Cabrera enjoys playing the game we all love and cherish. The New York Yankees’ 25-year-old utility man constantly puts that true love and passion on full-display each and every time he is out on the baseball diamond — smiling, and genuinely, having fun.
“That’s part of my game,” said the Guarenas, Venezuela native, yesterday, Thursday, March 21st, after getting removed from the Yankees-Braves Spring Training exhibition game in the middle of the seventh inning.
“I’m not just trying to smile all day. I just try to have fun at the game. You know, the smile that I have on my face is just because I try to have fun every time that I am there.”

Following my discussion with Yankees reliever and 2021 American LatinoMVP Relief/Closer award recipient Jonathan Loáisiga on the third-base side, I had the chance to chat with Cabrera in the Yankees dugout. He was all ears, and willing to give me as much time that was needed. Our interview with Oswaldo is provided below:
