Strikes should be strikes, and balls should be balls. A "deceived" umpire is just a bad umpire.

Deleted my misquote in shame to instead share the video of my favorite TPB shit saying

I get why they would want him, obviously, but even if the Jays did make a deal with them, he won't extend or re-sign with the Yanks. They have such a simple 1B solution - just sign Walker.

Yes, he later said if traded to the Yankees he would do his job to help them win. But he would never CHOOSE to play for them.

Would also take Burnes/Manaea, I keep forgetting about Manaea despite wanting him back.

Alonso (who I still see the Mets trying to bring back even with Soto), Santander, Burnes, Buehler and bullpen would certainly ease any burn of Soto signing elsewhere.
