It was exactly a year ago to the day — December 6, 2022 — that MLB reporter Jon Heyman tweeted “Arson Judge appears headed to the Giants,” sparking a whole bunch of memes before Aaron (not Arson) Judge re-signed with the New York Yankees the next day.
Fast-forward to December 6, 2023: The Yankees acquired star outfielder Juan Soto in a trade, giving their lineup a much-needed boost. And how did the Yankees’ X (formerly Twitter) account celebrate it? With a clear joke about “Jon Soto” appearing to be headed to the Yankees.
Full circle, hilarious and timely. Can’t ask for a better post than that:
