Not only the time or luck, but even the fans had also made it pretty hard for the player to even go out on the streets.
Joey Gallo suited up for one last time
Before the trade deadline on Monday, Gallo suited up in the Pinstripes for probably the last time. And he talked about his year in the Yankees went. He had fans booing him, constantly criticizing him over his play, and shattered his confidence.?
Gallo knew he was going to get traded from the moment the Yankees acquired his replacement, Andrew Benintendi. He was ready, and he was waiting for it. As much as he was going to miss being with the Yankees, he and his parents were ready to know where will he would be going.?
During the 10 minutes of the interview before Monday’s game, he said, “I don?t go out in the streets.” Additionally, he said,?”I really don?t want to show my face too much around here.”?
Me: Literally gets dressed.
Media: Yup that’s why he sucks. https://t.co/5xaRjecvQf

One can only imagine what he must have gone through by the fans to even stop going on the streets.?
And at last, he got traded by the New York Yankees to the LA Dodgers in exchange for the right-hander, Clayton Beeter.
A debate between the fans started after Gallo’s statement
Fans had different reactions to Gallo’s interview. Reactions included whether they’ve gone overboard with how they have treated Gallo. Or whether he deserved what he got.
It started with one of the fans saying, “We went too far as a fanbase.”
If Joey Gallo didn’t feel comfortable walking down the street, we went too far as a fanbase. It’s one thing to boo someone on the field, it’s another thing to take it off the field.
That isn’t “high standards”, that’s toxic and vicious.

He was booed like many players. Look at how Altuve is treated when he comes and he responds by kicking our rears. Other Yankees have been booed even Jeter.

While some supported him, there are others who said he got what he deserved.
New York ain’t for the soft. Joey Gallo just isn’t a guy. Guy belongs in a small market team where they don’t care about winning @JoeyGallo24

Some dudes aren’t built for pinstripes. I wish Joey the best moving forward but he wasn’t good at any aspect of the game while in New York.

There were others who felt sad for him.
I'm very happy Joey Gallo is out of New York. I hope his career turns around. Not an easy place to be when you're struggling https://t.co/TLbBGj8UWO
