In the words of Riggs, check the timestamps.
And the latest rumors.

Lets learn a little more about this Twitter prophet:
He knows his Back To The Future II, so he’s likely not an evil prophet!
Have yourself a day Mike Kerwick and bathe in all those retweets from a random thought you had while sitting on the shitter 5 years ago. I don’t know what brand of the dark arts you dabbled in while firing that tweet away, if you are some sort of Twitter soothsayer, or just a superhero that has the saddest superpower of all: The ability to know how much money will change hands when a baseball player is traded. But a retired Mets writer coming in with amount of cash that Cano would be traded with 5 years before everyone else in the planet is the greatest scoop of all-time. And yes I get that anybody with a brain knew that the Seattle fucking Mariners of all teams wouldn’t see Robbie Cano’s contract expire on their books. But to get the (rumored) number correct as well as the year is pretty fucking impressive, doubly so if you were a writer for the team acquiring Cano at the time. If Kerwick said Cano’s agent would be the one trading for Cano 5 years later, we’d have to burn him at the stake for making that riddle come true.
Instead we can just laugh at this weirdness because crazy Twitter sports takes that end up coming true is the closest thing we will see to locking a million monkeys in a room with a million typewriters and one of them writing Billy Shakespeare’s entire library.
FYI Mike, someone that says they aren’t a wizard is definitely a wizard, especially if they wear a fedora unironically.
God I hope that Mets prediction comes in, no matter how much it would freak me out. But nothing will beat that old Cubs/Indians World Series tweet, that actually had me thinking the world was going to end for about 15 minutes a couple of Octobers ago.
