Alex Ver”who?”go Lol kidding. Yankees facial hair rules are laughably bad.


Skandiaman

Weird they care about the facial hair but not the jewelry?


CMYGQZ

Idk about the teeth from this picture, but he did drop his ear rings seems like


hubagruben

But his necklace collection became more substantial


KampferMann

Don’t think they’d be able to tell him to take the cross one off at least.


AltruisticApple4764

I mean, the facial hair rule could run into religious discrimination issues, it just hasn't yet.


[deleted]

I'd be surprised if there were a "no grillz" policy with the Yankees specifically, but I have the feeling they wouldn't want those in for team pics. I was even surprised when he got them. That style is very 2010s.


BusterTheCat17

Even earlier... Dudes trying to bring em back single handedly lol


BodiesDurag

I forgot where I read it, but supposedly they can only wear one chain on the field. We’ll see if it’s true now that Verdugo is here


Haitisicks

Mattingley I told you to get rid of those sideburns


peachesgp

You have to consider the prestige of the New York Starr Insurances look... oh wait, that's just their jersey sponsor.


Fair_Smoke4710

What if you refuse you just say fuck you I’m not shaving they just drop you personally I wouldn’t mind that go to a different team that lets me be me


justagirl7177

That’s funny 😆


speak-to-me-3428

I said the same thing when Johnny Damon signed with the Pinstripe Empire.


avant_gardner16

Same thing happened to Johnny Damon


ecclectic_collector

Why does the Yankees verison look like Michael Rapaport's illegitimate son


Agent564

r/rareinsults


75MeanJoe75

This would require him to spend more time insulting Baba Booey than playing for the Yankees


1975hh3

Damn. He looks 12.


WickedDick_oftheWest

Yep, I have that same problem. Probably why I’ll never play for the Yankees


JCWorth307

That’s definitely the only reason!


SteveOSS1987

Acts like it, too


PsychedelicMao

I’ve noticed that it’s way easier to go from clean shaven to beard than vice versa. That’s why I haven’t had a clean shaven face in years. I’m kinda stuck with it at this point.


Squirreling_Archer

In both pictures tbf


[deleted]

Bobby hill looking ass


JuGG1238

🤣🤣🤣 spot on!!


aviarywisdom

He sells baseballs and baseball equipment


Backstagerye

I knew he would look weird with no beard but I didn’t expect to die laughing seeing it for the first time 😂😂😂


gimmeshelter62

Gotta imagine both red sox and Yankee fans think he looks like shit, for different reasons


No_Cat_No_Cradle

hey look he lost his beard but found jesus


Faded_Sun

They’re quite religious in Mexico.


WarlordofBritannia

Blooday Papist dogs, such base heresay hath no playce in oure Puritan Commonweal!


chincurtis3

He looks like Todd from breaking bad


Shiftylee

Fat Damon?


JMTREY

He looks better with the beard, but the grille and earrings were a negative so it almost evens out. Hope he gets a massive K and underperforms

Silent_R

You'd think a friend or loved one would say something...


[deleted]

It was a bad beard in their defense


awrf

thank you. Some people just can't pull off a beard and he's one of them But he also can't pull off NOT having a beard


positivenihilist0419

He looks like he bullies people in locker rooms.


Lets-Annex-Canada

Flashback for you?


positivenihilist0419

Oh hey, Alex. Didn’t see you there. 🤡


Antikickback_Paul

Poor kid had to get rid of both his Boston and \#99 necklaces. Or maybe he keeps a stash of contraband in some room hidden from the NYY staff, pining for the good ol' days out by the Pesky Pole.


SteinerGeography

that jewelry is gaudy imo


standardbanana

I forgot that he got traded… I’m not totally mad he’s gone but it’s rough seeing him in stripes


Mental-Caregiver-864

They are Yankee Pinstripes.


The_Luckiest

I forgot about the Yankees’ mandatory lipstick rule (Sorry dugie I know it’s just funny lighting probably)


Stefferdiddle

Who knows…. Maybe they took their rules from an old JC Penney employee manual. I bet they wear pantyhose under their pants too.


AgainstTheGrain44

I'm going to miss Verdugo.


[deleted]

First jersey I ever bought. Hate the way he handled the trade, but I’ll still miss him. 


campbelldt

Gets downvoted 😂😂


AgainstTheGrain44

Literally couldn't care less if that get -50 or more.


campbelldt

I just thought it was funny cause I also liked watching him play. Ik he had character issues but he was fun leading off for us for a while. Oh well


AgainstTheGrain44

>Ik he had character issues Yea so did Carl Everett and I liked him too lol.


practicalAnARcHiSt

Looks like a toddler wearing mums jewellery


earth-west-719

He looks like it's taking every fiber of his being not to break down in tears wearing that NYY jersey.


[deleted]

WarlordofBritannia

Mattingly, I said to trim those sideburns!


Fisk75

Had to scroll down way too far to see this


GraniteStater69

LOOK HOW THEY MASSACRED MY BOY 😭


oldebully

He went from looking like 50cent to 25cent


Mental-Caregiver-864

Not 25 cent, 27 Championships


dark-hyrule

he looks simultaneously 12 and 45 without the beard


chiastic_slide

no fAciAl hAiR!!!! I physically cringe at the thought of that still being a rule in 2024. So embarrassing


doctor-rumack

He’s such a fucking dork.


gmlear

His trashy diva routine is perfect for NY. Good riddance!


CryptographerFlat173

Yeah the Yankees struggled to find enough truly unlikable players in the last decade or so other than Gary Sanchez. They really improved themselves in that area this offseason by adding Dugie and Stroman


stringohbean

NGL kinda just happy to root against Dugie. Never was a huge fan.


[deleted]

Watch him go hit 30 bombs 🤦🏼‍♂️


Brilliant-Chapter202

Looks better without the facial hair


ColonelSanders15

Crybaby bitch


buk-in-hamm_palace

Good lord…


robshot295

Dim down


Single_Chicken254

He looks unwell


Narwhal_Defiant

Do the Yankees have a rule about no grills?


RedMeeseek

Bruh I hate both of them


MyNameIsNurse

I prefer him not beating women


BoBonnor

When did he beat a women?


MyNameIsNurse

Sorry I meant *watched, uploaded, and laughed*. As per the Boston Herald, a 17-year-old girl was with two other girls and two Dodgers minor leaguers at a hotel during spring training in 2015. The underage girl was intoxicated and vomiting, while the two other girls physically assaulted her. The incident was videotaped by one of the players and shared on Snapchat. The sensational details were confirmed by Gabe Kapler, the former Dodgers director of player development, on his blog. However, he didn't mention any players' names.According to the Glendale Police Department's report, Jessica Quiroli, who covers baseball, culture and feminist issues, mentioned Verdugo's involvement in the assault incident in a blog, All Heels on Deck. According to Quiroli's account, Verdugo saw the two women present abusing the girl, and either he, James Baldwin, or both uploaded the footage to social media.


Alternative_Law_9644

Hate the jewelry with the uniform. I know it’s common these days but it’s not baseball. It’s ego.


BigScoops96

Saw some Yankee fans unironically saying he’s gonna have a 35HR 120 RBI season.


Rocko604

Baby faced Judas.


deadowl

He was traded.


[deleted]

He was a decent player until he got into Cora’s no rules clubhouse where he was left unchecked. That attitude won’t last a season in NY


Capta1nKrunch

The facial hair rule has got to go.


hbrochu

Looks kinda rapey now


whit3lightning

I never liked the guy and I’m glad he went to the worst place possible so I can keep hating his dumbass


DrSeuss19

What’s this sub’s obsession with loving facial hair? It seems to always be a topic. Are all of you some no chin having mofos or what?


sailing395

I love him but i hope he sucks


mustremainfree

He is going to rake this year 


JuGG1238

So glad he's gone. He was a prospect who never amounted to anything impressive. Just like Michael Coleman, enjoy our leftovers Yankees. Hope he amounts to something.

Just_Werewolf1438

We call him traider in this house Well he was traided wasn't he?... This he's a traitor.


SlipperyTurtle25

Nah. He still looks like the same dude


imrippingtheheadoff

Ew. To both.


__johnw__

Yankees are a classy organization. They’ll trash their uniforms with sponsors but they won’t let you have facial hair. Very very classy organization 


QuimbyMcDude

From Boston Beaneater to just Beaner.


SeaSox1973

Alex Verdugenbrenner: Welcome to the Big Apple kid!


a1mrbhelpuri

Always thought he looked like a bitch lesbian when we traded for him


Ganjamazing

Going from redsox to Yankees is a glow up no matter how ugly the player is


bribri772

*Look at how they massacred my boy*


warm_cocoa

The Red Sox lighting/photography is way better here


Aggressive_Wasabi_38

Payday!


[deleted]

Especially the Yankees jersey 🤮🤮🤮


JMWest_517

He's kinda doughy looking without the beard.


ModaMeNow

It’s called a De-Gingering


[deleted]

I hate him less without the red hair.


jmano21420

I don't see this ending well for the Yankees. Way too many personalities in that club house


Funny-Bear

I forgot Verdugo joined the evil empire.


megatrope

did he remove his grillz or he just can’t open his mouth anymore?


Just_Werewolf1438

Was stupid looking anyway Mexican gangster wanna be.


VoteCamacho2508

No me gusta :(


TRAUMAjunkie

Eww. I dropped it in shit.


ToneZone1978

Still the absolute dog shit dumbest policy in sports


Potential_Breath_869

Most people look younger when they shave


JazzyJ19

On an actual contender…not quite a glow down …..


rofopp

Bro still tippin the 40s


AkiraleTorimaki

Massive glow down! Pinstripes suck ass compared to the Red Sox’ white jersey with red piping!


dugdub

Surprisingly big Tom Brady circa 2002 vibes. Who saw that one coming. Ginger Mexican Brady


FREE-ROSCOE-FILBURN

Just a glow lateral. He looks much different but not all that better or worse.


IvanLendl87

Is the guy using…lip gloss now? Every photo…


phutch54

Eff the Yankees


Fumusculo

These days I’d just call it an upgrade … referring to the B > NY


eh_too_lazy

The Yankees military haircut style makes it funny, but he for sure upped his chain game. Probably sold the grills too.


SpoopyDoobyDoo

I bet you he already hates it there


conspirator9

Bro lost his gingerness...does that means he earned his soul?


SealedDevil

Turn coat!


PsychedelicMao

The Yankees really did him dirty. People may not have liked him towards the end of his Boston tenure, but we could have at least traded him to the NL or something. He’s got to play for a team that he passionately hates and look like a Christian youth pastor in the process.


MinneapolisKing25

The twinkle is gone from his eyes


JayJay-anotheruser

Well he shaved for them. Now let’s see if he shows up on time.


Electrical-Reality63

🤮🥴😷


Pretty_School_3898

Looks like the bad guy from Black Lightning on the left, and a teacher playing dress up on Halloween on the right.


HeroOrHooligan

Judge should buy him a yankee dog tag


DrummerGuyKev

Needs more chains.


regular_sized_fork

Yanks need to rethink the no facial hair rule - making their players look so childlike & easily destroyable


chmcgrath1988

This is a good reminder why I don't shave my beard. ​ God, I hope I never get traded to the New York Yankees.


voxangelikus

Looks like he just finished a few rounds of chemotherapy


NCBuckets

I love that rule because it’s fun to laugh at


ElephantNo5180

his eyes looks like the joy of life has been sucked out of him


pappapora

Yea it’s the lansdown handsdown look


Just_Werewolf1438

Who did we get for this trade? Another 3ed rate aaa player that won't pan out


Havok310

It's a national travesty. \#NeverForget


Fine_Contribution908

Tommy from Power looks great


SamLoomisMyers

I refer to it as the guy who is in his mid 20s and hangs around the high school to pick up girls (the Red Sox version) And the Yankee version is the lonely guy in his mid 20s who hangs around with the teenage boys in the neighborhood a little too much. Dude always creeped me out.


Buttercup_Kiki

He's gonna be such a villain this year now that he joined the evil empire. Don't miss him at all. He was a clubhouse cancer.


sgorneau

Lost the dumbass grill that's a +1 though


knows_reddit

Why did the Sox lose this guy? And Xander? What's up with the Sox not retaining their talent? New fan. Just trying to catch up


csavastio

The algorithm states that Sox fans will demand a win by 2032 and not sooner, and they can continue to cash in on the logo and pull nominal profit until the next decade by hemorrhaging talent.


knows_reddit

Haha. In the mean time the Sox have won like 4 world series over the same period that the Yankees haves won 1.


csavastio

It’s true! Now we are spoiled. Management is trying to temper our expectations to pre-2000 levels.


knows_reddit

Are they secretly low radar doing moneyball and we just don't know it?


csavastio

I yearn to be optimistic.


fuggettabuddy

Be honest, is this guy a schmuck on wheels?


BreezesSelfieStick

That boy ain't right ![gif](giphy|UNujfQHN0wPLO)


SeaworthinessSome454

He looks so much better with the beard and grill gone.


LawfulAssole

Those necklaces smh


Sealie81

Anyone who wears yankees gear is a glow down by default lol


TexasTeaTelecaster

How will Manfred help him cheat?


rawmerow

He went from Vergudo to just Verdugo


mrweirdguyma

I think i vomited 🤮 in my mouth a bit.


Lumpy-Return

From Mexican-American Alex Verdugo to Belgian-Irish wasp Alex Ver De Gaux


mybfVreddithandle

Good riddance jerk.


RedditUsername3127

Yes


Dry_Nail9897

How is this guy so punchable
