No folks, the above picture is not a photoshop rendering, it’s actually former Texas Rangers slugger Joey Gallo in a Yankees uniform. Still hard to believe, right?

It’s weird to see former 2021 Texas Rangers in different uniforms considering they were once key contributors to the team, but for their sake, as veterans with pedigree, we’re glad they’re getting an opportunity to win elsewhere. What we know for sure is that the Rangers couldn’t provide that for them anytime soon. Instead, Texas on pace for around 100 losses this season.
