On the same day when he was published in Chicago White Sox's spring training, the former Dodgers outfield accepted social media to make a surprising announcement.

“It was fun, the Outfield,” he labeled the post that contained a video in which he fell on runners on the bases.

Gallo later made it clear: “Just to be clear, I will pitch.”
