Good morning, baseball fans!
(Editing note before y’all break out the pitchtorches: This was mostly written Tuesday afternoon before the Jung-hoo Lee news broke, so take or leave as much of the snark and ennui as you see fit.)
Apologies for being gone for a bit, I spent the last week and a half sick and almost thought I’d fever-dreamed some of the news that came out during that time.
I missed the San Diego Padres trading Juan Soto to the New York Yankees completely. I saw a reference to Soto being on the Yankees in passing and had a very surreal moment of questioning which version of reality I was in and how long I’d actually been sick.
