Brandon McCarthy teases ex-teammate Josh Donaldson over his hairstyle
The Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander is known for his wit and sarcasm on social media, and lined up a new target into his crosshairs: Josh Donaldson.
The Toronto Blue Jays' reigning AL MVP inked a two-year, $29 million extension with the club on Monday, and McCarthy saw fit to congratulate him while also knocking him down a peg for his chosen hairstyle:
Remember, Donaldson's quirky haircut earned him his own upcoming (speaking) role in the History Channel's "Vikings." Others (including Bryce Harper!) clearly appreciate his look, but McCarthy isn't among that crowd.
@BringerOfRain20 congrats on the deal. Now you can tip your barber so he'll stop doing what he does to you

Still, the former Oakland Athletics teammates exchanged friendly memes after McCarthy's initial dig:
