Apparently, Trevino is the one person who could have helped him out by fulfilling his craving. But instead of doing so, he chose to tease him even more. And that left their fans urging Trevino to help out Cortes Jr. come out of this scary phase of his life.
What does Nestor Cortes Jr. need help with?
Not many people might know this but, Major League Baseball has its very own official brand of bubble gum created by former baseball players. And it appears to be that the Yankees ace Nestor Cortes Jr. is a big fan of ‘Big League Chew’ bubble gum. In Cortes jr.’s own words, he is going through scary hours since he is running out of his favorite bubble gums.
Apparently, Cortes Jr.’s Yankees teammate Jose Trevino is seemingly the only person who could have helped him get more.
But instead of helping him out, Trevino decided to tease him even more with a special announcement. The number 1 shredded gum of the baseball players decided to send Trevino a ton of gum for this year’s Trevino’s birthday bash with a little twist on the packaging.
