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.

At 31 years old, Joey Gallo is aiming to breathe new life into his baseball career by trading his bat for a spot on the pitcher’s mound.

Over the weekend, both MLB teams played exhibition games against Japanese teams. In the stadium where Ohtani once sent a ball through the roof, he (obviously) homered again. The packed stadium coming to a reverent hush before every pitch to him was truly something to behold.
