Chicago Cubs Jake Arrieta To Anti-Trump Hollywood Celebs: Go On And Get Out – I’ll Pack Your Bags

Chicago Cubs pitcher Jake Arrieta disappoints today.

Referencing the many Hollywood celebs who said they would leave the U.S.,  Arrieta tweets: “Time for Hollywood to pony up and head for the border #illhelpyoupack #beatit”

I had pegged Arrieta as a little more chill than that since he was open to a nude photo shoot for The Body Issue of ESPN Magazine. I wrote about that shoot here.

Guess he’s not as cool (or hot) as I thought :-/

When Cubs President Theo Epstein (big Clinton supporter) was asked about his pitcher’s public trolling of Clinton supporters, Epstein told the Chicago Tribune, “I’m still processing that, too,” he said. “I believe in the First Amendment. But I also believe we should be mindful of how other people feel.”

Cubs Pitcher Jake Arietta Goes Naked For ESPN 2016 Body Issue

Chicago Cubs pitcher Jake Arietta looks spectacular on the cover of the 2016 ESPN Magazine Body Issue

Chicago Cubs pitcher Jake Arietta looking all kinds of awesome in the all together on the cover of this year’s ESPN Body Issue.

Arietta explains, though, that he had to trim down for the shoot as his normal state is pretty hirsute.

From the Chicago Tribune:

“I’m extremely hairy,” the Cubs ace says in the annual photo spread featuring athletes in the nude. “It pretty much connects from the top of my head to my toes with a nice upper body sweater/track jacket type of thing. I’m shaved right now. The chest is good, the back is pretty solidly shaven.”

“I think the beard plays a slight factor to my presence on the mound. It’s kind of part of the persona now. Everyone in Chicago embraced it, so I got to keep it. I can’t ditch it now. I got rid of it in the offseason and I got some pretty intense reactions. I told them, “Don’t worry, give me two weeks and it’ll be back.”
