New York Yankees kid ace Deivi Garcia is auditioning to play on Mars and we love it.
On one hand, we love that Yankees top prospect Deivi Garcia has been absolutely vibing all offseason long, especially during his tenure in the Dominican Winter League.
On the other, we hope Hal Steinbrenner hasn’t seen any of the images of Garcia’s new look. Otherwise, he’ll be on the phone to his pops trying to get Old Man Steinbrenner to roll around in his grave. Come on, do a roll!
The man inspired by Pedro Martinez certainly picked up a fair amount of the Boston ace’s goofiness, too, but even the Hall of Famer never dared to dress like this even during his 2004 Idiot heyday.
Garcia proved he’s the King of the Offseason again on Saturday — and until he shows up to Spring Training looking like this, the front office better not say a peep.
For those looking to replicate the outfit at home, that’s a Futures Game 2019 warmup shirt (hard to find), a Scranton/Wilkes-Barre “Vejigantes” Copa hat (very available), fire shorts (origin unknown) and blue hair (anyone can do this).
The future’s so bright for Garcia that the kid has to wear shades in December. Also bright? His own pants.
Honestly, the glare might be coming from both locations.
Garcia is spending his offseason in style, shrugging off management’s slight of his abilities during Game 2 of the ALDS. As we all remember, the series’ momentum swung when Aaron Boone and the front office decided that one inning was all we needed to see before it was JA Happ time in the worst way.
Perhaps if Garcia had shown off this much swagger, the Yankees would’ve been intimidated into changing their minds?
No word yet on whether, in an effort to keep up, Clarke Schmidt got a nose ring and a lime green bandana.

The New York Yankees front office has made some mistakes over the last few years, and these three currently have the team stuck in neutral.
