All it took yesterday was a two-minute stroll through the Twitter forest to confirm the obvious: Reports that Miami Marlins slugger Giancarlo Stanton is being fitted for crisp, clean Bronx-issued pinstripes has folks in Boston clutching at their pearls.
Or as Trenni Kusnierek put it, hysterically, on WEEI yesterday, “This is a kick to the gut if you’re a Red Sox fan.”
And away we go.
But not to worry: I have two solutions to the unbearable specter of the Yankees rolling out a 2018 lineup that has Stanton and his 59 home runs teaming up with young Aaron Judge and his 52 home runs … and Gary Sanchez and his 33 home runs … and the enormously underrated Didi Gregorius and his 25 home runs … and, well, you get the idea.
