Joey Gallo has become incredibly frustrating to watch for Yankee fans, as his brutal slump continued on Friday night with two more strikeouts on another hitless evening.
Gallo’s struggles have become so maddening for some fans, that they apparently would rather see a 38-year-old Brett Gardner in left field.
Twitter came alive late in Friday’s 4-1 win over the Guardians when multiple people pointed out hearing Yankee fans chanting “We want Gardner,” urging the Yanks to bring back the previously longest-tenured Yankee, who is reportedly staying in shape and preparing to sign on with a team at some point this season.
The Yankees, by bringing back Tim Locastro, seemed to be moving on from Gardner, but that has seemingly been the case for multiple offseasons in the recent past, so you never know.
If Gardner does come back, there clearly is a contingent of Yankee fans that would love the move.
