Boston, MA — Trevor Story may be grinding on the field, but off the field? It looks like he’s been grifting on Instagram.
In a now-deleted post from the Red Sox’s Thanksgiving party, Story proudly showed off what he claimed was a homemade Thanksgiving spread, captioning the post:
“Grinding on and off the field 💪 #ChefTrevor”
The plate looked perfect — almost too perfect: golden turkey slices, immaculately arranged stuffing, glazed carrots, and cranberry sauce drizzled like it came out of a food magazine.
And as it turns out… it did.
Eagle-eyed fans quickly discovered the exact same image had been posted on Pinterest — in 2021.
A reverse image search confirmed it: Story’s “cooking” was actually a stock photo, lifted directly from a blog titled “15 Classy Thanksgiving Plates to Impress Guests.”
The internet exploded with memes, with some fans dubbing him “Trevor Storied” and others tagging Gordon Ramsay for a reaction.
“I knew it looked too clean. Bro plays second base, not second oven,” one fan posted on X.
While the team hasn’t made any official comment, several Red Sox players reportedly called Story out in the locker room, with one source saying:
“He got roasted harder than the turkey he didn’t cook.”
Story has yet to publicly address the controversy, though he quietly removed the caption and replaced the photo with a selfie holding a slice of pie, simply captioned:
“Real food this time. Probably.”
As the offseason rolls on, fans are now joking that Story might be the first MLB player to face a suspension for food fraud — though insiders say he’s more likely to face locker-room pranks than league discipline.
Developing story… and possibly developing recipes.
