In Photos: Alex Verdugo's girlfriend Yamille Alcala captures Yankees star bonding with tennis icon Andre Agassi over 'friendly pickleball game'
Alex Verdugo's longtime partner and girlfriend, Yamille Alcala, captured the Yankees ace bonding with tennis icon Andre Agassi over a friendly pickleball game in New York City. The legendary tennis player exchanged some forehand and backhand drives with Dugie who played alongside his younger son.
Alex Verdugo and Yamille Alcala shared stories on Instagram from their fun-filled pickleball game with Andre Agassi. The various captions on the stories were as follows:
"@Agassi."
"The Man."
"Friendly pickleball game with @agassi."
Verdugo has been living with Yamille Alcala for a long time, and the couple have three kids together.
Their youngest child, a daughter, Alianna Judith Verdugo, was born on April 29. Before her birth, the duo had two sons, and the family of five resides in New York City.
The LA Dodgers had selected Verdugo in the second round of the 2014 MLB draft, and he made his debut with the ballclub in the MLB in 2017. After three seasons with the Dodgers, he was traded to the Boston Red Sox in a five-player deal that saw Alex Verdugo, Jeter Downs and Connor Wong sign with the Red Sox and David Price and Mookie Betts go the other way.
He flourished in both aspects of the game at Fenway park with the Red Sox for four seasons before he was traded once again to the Yankees in exchange for three minor league prospects. Since then, Verdugo has been highly impressive in both aspects of the game and has nestled well in the Bronx.

Verdugo is batting with an average of .233 with ten home runs, 53 RBIs and .657 OPS this campaign with the Yankees.
The left-handed slugger has been on par with his searing performances in both aspects of the game. His happiness at the new ballclub was evident when he shared an edearing message for Yankees fans in an Instagram post.
"Honestly, it's awesome. The way fans have embraced me. Obviously coming from the Red Sox, you never know how that is going to be. Now, that they have seen me, they appreciate the way I play."
It will be interesting to see if the Yankees extend Alex Verdugo's contract after the culmination of the 2024 campaign.
