Have you ever been catfished? I don’t mean in the online dating sense of the word, but rather in terms of literal catfish. You’re out fishing, you get a huge bite, but as you reel it in, you realize that it’s just a catfish, not the huge black drum you were hoping to eat for dinner.
Robbie Ray is a catfish. Signing the reigning Cy Young winner is supposed to be a huge deal. But, as we’ve seen, there’s not really much meat on him, much like a catfish. I would further contend that Robbie is specifically a gafftop catfish, because he has a good chance to poison the games he appears in.
