There’s a lot of young folks that believe building up a career in sports could be the answer to their dream job. Some make it, some don’t, but as long as these people manage to get in and play baseball the first thing they all do is buy cars.
After they buy new cars (luxury ones, preferable) they get the proper custom touch. And Mercedes-Benz seems to be one of the most popular brands baseball players go for since almost all of them own at least one. Take Baltimore Orioles’ player Nelson Cruz who drives a S 63 AMG or Pittsburgh Pirates’ Francisco Liriano who drives the same model.

Arruebarrena is among the young Cubans who recently got in the business, but that doesn’t mean he can't role like one of his fellow players.

It was last year, in February when he reached a preliminary agreement on a contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers. The team officially announced that they had signed him to a 5-year contract worth a reported $25 million, with a $7,5 million signing bonus. He made his Major League debut as the starting shortstop for the Dodgers in May.

However, after starting a massive brawl between the Albuquerque Isotopes and Reno Aces in an AAA game, back in July, things started to get pretty bad with his career. The 24-year old baseball player is currently designated for assignment.

Sure, why would that stop him from taking care of his daily driver, right? The 2015 Mercedes-Benz S550 recently got a little upgrade over at The Auto Firm and changed its old wheels with a new set of 22’’ Avorza AV8 Forged Wheels.
