I really got tired of talking about Gallo when he played for us. He frustrated the hell out of me so when we got rid of him I was excited to never talk about him again. I guess he has proved me wrong no matter what happens with his new pitching quest because here I am talking (and trying not to laugh) about this.
Gallo just turned 32 in November, and he is trying to reinvent himself. He's posted enough videos on X of him pitching to garner some attention from not only me but also some scouts. According to Jon Heyman, he's caught the eye of several teams.
So Spring Training is happening, and teams have actually made an effort to go watch him at a showcase. I never thought this would happen, even after seeing some videos but apparently, anything really is possible. His videos were good enough to catch the interest of scouts. I will give him some credit, he did used to have a good throwing arm so maybe he can harness that somehow and reinvent himself? He's posted content, and he's trying. We've all seen worse.
So could someone take a chance on him? Anything is possible. Hell, since the Yankees want to run out the same team they had last season they could be crazy enough to one up it and go back to 2022. I hope not, because as much as we need a stronger bullpen I'm not ready to experiment on Gallo 2.0. If he wants to try to channel his Shohei Ohtani skills and be the once hitter that also pitches then good for him! Just do it away from the Bronx, please.
I will never poo on anyone's goals, so credit to Gallo for trying. However, I'm not sure where this can really go. I did say anything is possible before.....and for me that could include Gallo finding a way to strike himself out. I guess we'll see if this grows legs and goes anywhere.....
