MESA, Ariz. – Yonder Alonso is the furthest thing in the world from Gloria Estefan, but in his own way, he too is a Miami Sound Machine.
The A’s first baseman has a way of dominating the A’s clubhouse pregame with the seemingly endless supply of rich, peppy music he has on his cell phone.
It was a job that was given over to Coco Crisp for much of the last few years, but when Crisp was traded with a month left in the 2016, somebody had to step up. It wasn’t a coup exactly, but it quickly became clear that Alonso had no rivals in the music game.
