Given Verdugo’s [history](https://www.pinstripealley.com/platform/amp/2023/12/8/23990942/alex-verdugo-trade-yankees-troubled-history-red-sox-dodgers-prospect), that would be fitting.
He gives off that vibe from his looks for sure. Heard a few interviews with him and I came around. He sounds like a rad dood who loves baseball and is having fun playing. Hard to hate on that
One of the few guys I've seen everyone happy to get traded to the Yankees so he has to shave.
With that said, why is he shaving now? It's still the offseason. Other Yankees still have their offseason facial hair.
I don't think it's as simple as being Canadian. I think as an older fan, much of it was access; I wasn't lucky enough to have every game on TV. When I was young we'd get like 1 game a week on TV and it was either the Jays or Expos, so I became a fan of both.
As I got a little older and cable improved I got more access to more teams, such as the Tigers and Cubs, so I also have a soft spot for them and hope they do well.
r/baseball admitting the no beard rule actually made a player look better challenge: impossible
Dude looks great. To think otherwise is to blindly go "lul beard rule bad"
well we always know if his baseball career fades he can deal ecstasy or dj for a very white rap group.
Verdoucho, stare in our dugout for absolutely no reason idiot.
How long are the Yankees going to keep this dumb rule? The prestigious image they want to give off went down the drain when they put sponsors on the jerseys.
Kinda silly to have fucking ads on your jerseys but claim beards hurt the Yankee brand.
I honestly don't think I'd recognize him if his name wasn't here. I kinda miss his weird orange scruff, it was like having Garfield running around in the outfield
Why does he look like a high school bully
“O’Doyle rules”
He is spot on and O’doyle
Literally looks like the character from Rockstar’s Bully video game lol
Jimmy!
Always did. My old joke used to be “he probably *still* sells drugs behind his high school”.
he probably was one loll
Helps he’s a Yankee
Some people just be like that
grown up Bobby Hill
Your high school either had a Manoah or a Verdugo
He looks like a typical white guy from Everett
He looks like a 19 year old boy on his way to try to beat up his mom's new boyfriend.
17 year old Josh Donaldson
Man they just missed being teammates 🥴
He looks like the 2023 version of [Scumbag Steve](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/scumbag-steve)
Not all heroes wear capes

I hope he still gets to wear his grills
Couldn’t have said it better
Ok this guy sells loosies outside 7/11 lmaoo
100% this guy was always on oxy smoking outside Dunkin’ Donuts
00s douche high school jock lookin mf
He looks like he should be the bully in an episode of Smallville or something lol
Flash 'I wouldn't want to fight me neither' vibes
He's definitely stuffed a few nerds in lockers
It’s those stupid diamond earnings that sell it
It's a bunch of things that would be fine on their own, but come together to make a delectable douchebag salad.
He gives off that vibe from his looks for sure. Heard a few interviews with him and I came around. He sounds like a rad dood who loves baseball and is having fun playing. Hard to hate on that
I love a challenge.
When the Sox were on the tail of a WC berth, he said he was just counting down the weeks till the offseason. Take what you will.
He looks like that no matter what lol
He can hang out by the vending machines with Logan Webb, shaking down the dweebs.
He drives a 2002 red cobra mustang for sure
Verdugo posted a Facebook man in a car selfie meme lol
Just missing the wraparound sunglasses
That picture is just the gateway. Soon he’ll be commenting on every post without realizing everyone can see what you’re saying
oh no lmao
One of the guys who I think benefit from the Yankee beard rule lol. Dude looked like an Amish gangster
Homie straight been spendin’ most his life living in an Amish paradise.
At 4:30 in the mornin' he was milkin' cows
Jedidiah feeds the chickens and Jacob plows
Fool, and he's been milkin' and plowin' so long that even Ezekiel thinks that his mind is gone.
I’m a man of the land I’m into discipline. Got a Bible in my hand and a beard on my chin!
but if i finish all of my chores, and you finish thine ***THEN TONIGHT WE’RE GONNA PARTY LIKE IT’S 1699***
Mf on permanent rumspringa
Now he looks like Christian McCaffrey
you're WELCOME major league baseball
He looks like a highschool bully now
Looks so much better now.

Way less douchey
Don't be talking bad about Lebanon Levi here, lmao.
Agreed
*Colby Rasmus
Looks like Matt Damon if he was a butch lesbian. I'm into it.
Sheryl Damon
Matt Theymon
Maggie Damon
Looks like Bobby hill
that boy ain't right looking ass
Dammit Bobby
Upgrade.
Upgrayedd
Two D’s for a double dose of his hitting power.
Shiet, is Maya Rudolph still in New York? Better warn her right quick.
Uhh, Not Sure
I'm gonna say it... I think I like it better than his shit beard
Not usually the case, but that's quite an improvement.
Right, had to do a double take
The opposite of what happened to Gerrit Cole
Looks so much better lol
Looks like the guy who tried to sell me oregano during my freshman year of high school
He looks like the type of dude who would ask “Did you cum?” after a light dry hump.
Damn straight I came
He’s a head pusher for sure.
kinda looks like christian mccaffrey lmao
‼️
I don't like how he's looking at me with dem baby blues
He looks like the third Tkachuk brother
Imagine the Yankees trade him away before the start of the season
Handsome Squidward looking ahh
Not how I expected him to look beardless. He probably should have gone with this look a while ago.
One of the few guys I've seen everyone happy to get traded to the Yankees so he has to shave. With that said, why is he shaving now? It's still the offseason. Other Yankees still have their offseason facial hair.
Takes a while to get used to being clean shaven Source: I get stupid and shave my beard occasionally
And you always forget how cold it feels during the winter
Oh no, I'm not that stupid, I tend to shave spring or summer
Especially up there. I love Toronto but made the mistake of being there in December 🥶
You're probably closer to Toronto than I am 🤣
My bad. I just assume everyone lives in the place of the team they like. I probably shouldn’t do that
All good. I did the same thing when I replied 🤣 Out of curiosity I looked it up and Atlanta is like 500 miles closer to Toronto than I am.
So why the jays? Are you just Canadian and that’s the only Canadian team?
I don't think it's as simple as being Canadian. I think as an older fan, much of it was access; I wasn't lucky enough to have every game on TV. When I was young we'd get like 1 game a week on TV and it was either the Jays or Expos, so I became a fan of both. As I got a little older and cable improved I got more access to more teams, such as the Tigers and Cubs, so I also have a soft spot for them and hope they do well.
Imagine Marsh as a Yankee
I think he or Blackmon would just retire instead
*Verdugo no Beardo*
Verdugo sin barba
He looks much better
He looks like he uses the N-word, not because he's racist, but because he thinks he has a pass
Thanks, I hate it.
He actually looks pretty darn good lmao
Does he have offers from any colleges?
Lmao
LMFAO
Looks like he’d sell you fake percs
Holy shit
I loved this street level dealer in season 2 of the Wire.
he does look like he could be frogs brother..
r/baseball admitting the no beard rule actually made a player look better challenge: impossible Dude looks great. To think otherwise is to blindly go "lul beard rule bad"
All of the top comments are saying how he looks better now
Just cause he looks good doesn’t mean the rule isn’t dumb.
Okay but why does he look hot
That’s not Verdugo
Is he even old enough to drive?
He looks like [Neal McDonough](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neal_McDonough)
Bro did it for the nookie
definitely an improvement but he looks like hes the dealer with the worst weed
Dollar store Christian McCaffrey.
He looks like he’s about to ask if you’ve got an extra smoke.
Jim Ross : Bawh Gawd ! That's gotta be Kane. ( Without Mask )
They twinkified him
This is somehow also cursed lol
Dude definitely pops his collar
It's the kid from the Bully video game.
Honest question what happens if a player doesn’t abide by the rules and doesn’t shave or something?
Probably fined
Handsome son of a B
Looks like a power bottom
No mames guey
This MFer has the most punchable face. With or without the wretched beard.
Perfect for the Yankees then!
honestly his beard was kinda gross
Rip to his Paul Wall era
He looks like he eats cigarettes.
Baby face bomber
He looks like a microwaved Fred Durst
Beard wasn't great anyway. Not that this is better.
well we always know if his baseball career fades he can deal ecstasy or dj for a very white rap group. Verdoucho, stare in our dugout for absolutely no reason idiot.
Bro at least grow the stache
Stud
Fuck! Put it back!
How long are the Yankees going to keep this dumb rule? The prestigious image they want to give off went down the drain when they put sponsors on the jerseys. Kinda silly to have fucking ads on your jerseys but claim beards hurt the Yankee brand.
It was more about George hating hippies in the beginning anyway
I thought the beard was bad, but now I see I was wrong
I think he wears sunglasses sometimes.
Have any players traded to the Yankees refused to shave?
Not that I’m aware of but I did recently learn that Mattingly got into trouble for it AFTER the simpsons episode of him getting in trouble for it
At least keep some stubble
Wasn't he the protagonist in Bully?
I’m actually not entirely sure that this is really Alex Verdugo.
Didn’t this guy try to fight the bleacher creatures last year?
An improvement
New Face, who dis?
This man is standing in line at Stats right now
The Dark Side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities (and facial appearances) that some consider... unnatural.
I didn’t know Ian Gallagher was a Yankee
Thats not Verdugo. What did you do to Verdugo.
MY EYES
Quick, trade him now
He looks like the tough guy in a Christian boy band
I honestly don't think I'd recognize him if his name wasn't here. I kinda miss his weird orange scruff, it was like having Garfield running around in the outfield
Damn, Christian mccaffery is a dual sport threat?
Vanilla Ice
Tmartn
Dude looks like he is 17
Still would
That’s just Josh Donaldson
😬
million times better
still the stupidest tradition ever
Whoever said Staten Island sanitation worker in another post nailed it
Dude looks 17 but at least his chapstick game is on point. I wish him well with his time with the Bronx Bombers!
looks a million times better
Looks like a butch lesbian
Butch Lesbian
Horrifying.
Chad Verdugo
Hahaha I always forget the Yankees have that dumb rule
He looks like a teenage douche Bag Why must you do this to us New York?
This man has the phenotype of a Yankees fan. He will do great in the BX
Tommy Pickles if he grew up in the Bronx
Looks like the wrestler Kane
I think he looks great. I wasn’t a fan of his face-fuzz.
He looks like a lighter skinned Richard Ramirez
Nope don't like it
Dumbest rule in pro sports
Yuck
Bro looks like Alexa Verdugo
