You could say that Twitter was “lit” on Wednesday night. It usually is on the eve of Opening Day, but this year, that was not the main reason.
Steve Cohen did it. Francisco Lindor agreed to a 10-year, $341 million extension.
Players, media, and fans all took to social media to react to the news. Or, in the case of Taijuan Walker, he broke the news!
There’s a tweet I really wanna send out but I gotta hold it back!! Lol might send it in 30 minutes though
