If you had “Kristopher Negrón” as the first player traded from the Mariners at the 2019 trade deadline, raise your hand, then put it down and slap yourself across the face with it, you big liar. We’d been hearing rumblings from immediately post-game that Negrón was collecting hugs and handshakes from his teammates, which seemed like an overly-jovial response for being sent back to the moon (also known as the Pacific Coast League), but also, the alternative is someone wanted Kristopher Negron? Enough to trade for him? A lid for every pot, I suppose, or to paraphrase Samuel Beckett, there’s a little bit of everything in nature, and freaks are more common than you think.
