Yankees' Chris Iannetta Tweets Picture of Red Sox JetBlue Plane That's Taking Him to Spring Training

After standout second-string catcher Austin Romine landed with Detroit this offseason, the New York Yankees turned to veteran Chris Iannetta to compete with Kyle Higashioka for the backup spot behind Gary Sanchez.

With their catching predicament a thing of the past, the Yanks are getting set to report to Spring Training. While the trips for most of the players were smooth sailing, there was one glaring problem with the flight of the team's latest acquisition.

Iannetta took to Twitter on Monday to disclose a picture of his plane, which just so happened to be a Red Sox-branded JetBlue bird.

Wait, what?

The 36-year-old vet must have been thinking that he was being punk'd, and for good reason. As expected, Iannetta's trusty followers were quick to poke fun at his unforeseen head-scratcher.

In all honesty, that might be the case in 2020. Especially after Boston's irrational offloading of Mookie Betts.

That's the only logical explanation we can come up with. Talk about going for the kill-shot.

It was only a matter of time until Boston's financial constraints, which just so happens to be their rationalization for trading Betts, was referenced. The luxury tax is a harsh mistress. Renting out planes is the new way for professional sports organizations to earn quick cash.

Haven't you heard?

In all seriousness, Iannetta will likely laugh this ordeal off before touching down in Tampa. Still, it would be impossible to deny that his tenure in Pinstripes has gotten off to a forgettable start.
