Trade Deadline: Will Cubs & Co. Slay or Stay? 💅⚾️


Trade Deadline? More like *Slay* Deadline! Honey, the Padres GM, A.J. Preller, is about to snatch every wig in baseball and leave the other GMs bald. We're living for this chaos! Is he going to pull a Mariah and emancipate himself from mediocrity? Will he manifest another superstar like he's writing his own fan fiction? We're clutching our pearls and refreshing Twitter every .00005 seconds. This drama is more addictive than bottomless mimosas at a Sunday drag brunch. Who needs sleep when you can witness this level of *trade-deadline eleganza extravaganza*? Okay, but real talk, fam: we’re not just here for the gag. While Preller's wheeling and dealing is giving us life, let's remember the real MVPs are the players. They're the heart and soul (and biceps, let’s be honest) of this sport. So, let’s show some love and support to *all* the athletes, regardless of where they land post-deadline. Remember, inclusivity is always in season. Crystal Methyd (she/her), self-proclaimed Trade Deadline Enthusiast: “Category is…GRAND SLAM REALNESS! I’m gagged, gooped, and ready to throw some serious shade at any team that doesn't appreciate a good trade.” Bob the Drag Queen (he/him), local drag icon and baseball fanatic: “This trade deadline is hotter than my wig under these stage lights, henny! Let's go Padres!” “This trade deadline reminds us that change is constant, just like the ever-evolving beauty of the LGBTQ+ community,” shares Mx. Q. Ball (they/them), Director of the San Diego Pride Center. “Let’s root for each other on and off the field." Story by RuPaul Charles from LGBTQNN, reporting with pride. Sashay, Shantay, you stay… tuned!
