Joey Gallo was released on Sunday by the Chicago White Sox and if the 31-year-old signs on with another team, he'll be making a position switch. After playing outfield, third base and first base throughout his 10-year MLB career, Gallo intends to give pitching a try.

Joey Gallo, who slugged 208 home runs while maintaining a .194 average throughout his 10-season career, was released by the Chicago White Sox on Sunday. He took to social media, saying he’d be the latest position player to start pitching to extend his career.

Following his release on Sunday, Gallo took to X, a social media platform he's not been active on since 2022, and announced that he was no longer planning to play the outfield. Instead, he declared that he'd be reinventing himself as a pitcher.
