Cameras caught Luis Arráez processing his trade from the Marlins to the Padres in real time

Professional sports can be a tough business, and new San Diego Padres second baseman Luis Arráez, who just got traded to his new team from the Miami Marlins on Friday.

The worst part was Arráez’s trade must’ve gone down during the Marlins’ Friday night game against the Oakland A’s, as the Bally Sports broadcast showed Arráez giving farewells to his Miam teammates in the dugout.

While in-game transactions happen in professional sports, you rarely see a player processing such a moment in real time like Arráez is in Oakland.

Arráez will join a much better team in San Diego, but it can’t be easy to make such a major transition in any stage of your career.

To make this all even more fascinating, Padres prospect Nathan Martorella learned he was being traded to Miami while he was on second base.

This is just such a startling series of events for the players involved, as seeing these two players contemplate that they’ll be playing for new teams in real-time is just very uncommon in the MLB, much less any sports.
