While everyone is buzzing about Ernesto Martinez’s potential Triple-A promotion or Mathias Lacombe’s standout performances that could earn him a Double-A spot, the very first French player in MLB might already be on the field – and his name is… Ty France.
Yes, you read that right. Ty France. Like baguettes, the Eiffel Tower, and berets. Coincidence? Apparently not. In an official yet improbable statement, the French embassy revealed that the player has initiated a dual nationality application. Goal: becoming Franco-American, full MLB edition.
This sudden Francophilia fits a broader trend since the U.S. presidential change: more and more Americans are seeking foreign citizenship. « You never know, just in case, » said a source close to the matter, folding a Breton striped shirt into a suitcase.
Will we soon see a Ty « Cheese » France on the mound? Stay tuned… or not.
