Series Preview: Mariners (4-6) at Blue Jays (4-6)

Do you remember that day back in December, when an opera singer (never trust a tenor, kids) tweeted that Yusei Kikuchi had made a reservation at a sushi restaurant and suddenly we were all channeling our inner Harriet the Spy, fueled by “confirmation” from Jon Morosi (never trust a Jon without an “h”) that Shohei Ohtani was en route to Toronto? Obviously, he was not (again, cannot stress this enough, opera singers are suspect sources under the best of circumstances) and he signed with the Dodgers a few days later. Blue Jays fans have been attempting to recover from that ever since.
