With MLB’s winter meetings underway in San Diego, the hot stove was just starting to get cooking. Then, it happened: Arson Judge arrived.
One typo. Two letters. That’s all it took for a spark to turn into a blaze.
It all began when MLB insider Jon Heyman of the New York Post sent an instantly iconic, six-word tweet that read: “Arson Judge appears headed to Giants.” With that, the jokes went flying, and were only amplified when Heyman quickly deleted the tweet and offered a retraction of his report entirely, offering his apologies for “jumping the gun” in regard to 2022 AL MVP Aaron Judge.
