You’re on an airplane to go see a New York Mets game out in California. You have the choice between chicken or beef. There’s only a certain number of each available. You’re near the back. You really want the beef. Your lip reading skills tell you so does everyone else from rows 1-20. Eventually, it’ll run out. Then some fool who pre-ordered a vegetarian meal decides enough is enough. They unexpectedly trade in their meal for another beef. Sigh. Who saw that coming?
Those were the words many had when the New York Yankees surprised us all with a 4-for-1 swap with the Miami Marlins that landed them pitcher Ryan Weathers.
