Here's his regular Topps card as a Tiger.
Here's another example with John Lackey. He was a fre agent signed by the Red Sox (a cool $82 mil for 5 years) in December.
Last year he was with the Angels. They did a pretty good job with the Red Sox uniform. You can even see a little a Red Sox patch on his right sleeve.
Does this sort of thing bother you? It doesn't bother me. Topps, after all, has a long tradition of doing this sort of thing but today they are much better at it. I think it's fun to find cards like this.

Those are pretty good. I just checked out the Heritage versions, as well. They're not too bad either. For the Heritage, though, they should go back to the tried and true air brush.
I think I'd rather see press conference photos or obviously airbrushed closeups, but I don't mind the digital manipulation if there isn't time to get real game shots.
