DEAL REJECTED: St Louis  Canadia ice Hockey Superstar Third baseman Nolan Arenado Rejected Contract Deal $50 Million With Edmonton Oiler, i Prefer Loyalty Over Legacy  St louis is My Home And…….

In what can only be described as a sports multiverse moment, legendary baseball third baseman-slash-imaginary-hockey phenom Nolan Arenado has turned down a stunning $50 million offer from the Edmonton Oilers — choosing instead to remain loyal to his true calling: playing third base on ice in downtown St. Louis.

Yes, you read that correctly.

🗣️ “I could’ve taken the Oilers’ money and tried to slap pucks instead of grounders,” Arenado said in a post-practice press conference held inexplicably on a Zamboni. “But loyalty matters. I’ll take line drives over slap shots any day. This is my city.”

The Dual-Sport Myth We Didn’t Know We Needed

Long rumored to be Canada’s greatest ice hockey third baseman (despite third base not existing in hockey), Arenado’s rare ability to simultaneously field ground balls and skate backwards had reportedly caught the attention of Oilers general manager Ken Holland, who offered the fictional superstar a massive crossover deal.

Included in the offer:

• $50 million guaranteed

• Custom “hybrid” baseball-hockey cleats (with retractable blades)

• A jersey numbered “3B” in Oilers blue

• A private snowplow for offseason conditioning Arenado’s Reason for Saying No?

Simple: loyalty > legacy.

“You can’t just leave the Gateway Arch for a slapshot dream. I’ve got unfinished business. I promised these fans a World Series and possibly a Stanley Cup, even if I’m technically not in the NHL or the MLB Hall of Fame yet.”

He then slid across the podium on skates and did a pirouette to celebrate.

 Reactions From the Sports World

• Wayne Gretzky (probably confused):

  “I don’t even know what position third base is in hockey, but if Nolan’s playing it, I support it.”

• Albert Pujols, asked during a charity softball game:

  “Wait… he did what with who in hockey? I love it. Legend.”

• Connor McDavid reportedly offered him a stick. Arenado countered by offering McDavid a glove and a hot dog. What’s Next?

Arenado says he’ll focus solely on his role with the St. Louis Baseball Hockey Club, or SLBHC, a team that doesn’t officially exist but apparently holds intergalactic exhibitions against teams from fictional sports films like The Mighty Ducks, Space Jam, and Angels in the Outfield.

He also teased a potential 30 for 30 documentary titled:
