Approximately four hours ago, I said “I just don’t think the Mariners are going to trade for [Eugenio Suárez]. I think the price is going to be too high until it’s too late. They’re going to say some crap after the deadline about how they pushed to the very end but just couldn’t quite pull off a deal.” For good measure, I also added later, “Watch, now that we’re recording, they’re going to make a trade and we’ll all look silly.”
Lo and behold, here we are. Looking silly.
I love silly.
