I don’t know about you, but I am at the point where staying current on the latest MLB news is frustrating and exhausting. It’s fruxhausting. Exstrating. Whatever. Will-they-or-won’t-they is my least favorite TV trope, because they always will, and the show will always go a little bit (or a lot) downhill because of it. Every time I sit down to write an update about the latest news on the state of the sport, this is what happens:
A) Beat writer A tweets something definitive-sounding out, followed by a rush of elation across Baseball Twitter;
B) Beat writers B - ZZ tweet things ranging from mildly conflicting to outright contradicting writer A’s statement, followed by a rush of deflation across Baseball Twitter and a sucking sound within my chest cavity;
C) An official body of some kind issues a statement that no definitive agreement has been reached while often taking the opportunity to snipe at the other party, followed by the gnawing sense of apathy and disappointment that has become the flavor of my daily bread;
D) Repeat A-C ad nauseam.
