What are you waiting for you? Get on the Yermin Mercedes bandwagon because if you wait any longer the hype train is going to be long gone.
That's cute.
White Sox fans wanted to see Mercedes since last summer, as the right-handed slugger was mashing in the minors. September came and fans expected him to come up for a taste of the majors.
We even had a tattoo bet lined up.
But no, it didn't happen. Even after a 1.033 OPS in 53 games at Triple-A in 2019, Mercedes never got called up. However, during the offseason he was added to the 40-man roster and slowly but surely he's been grabbing everyone's attention.
On Monday, Mercedes launched a rocket to the concourse in left field in spring training action against the Dodgers.
Now the hype train is rolling, as Yermin battles for the 26th spot on the Opening Day roster for the White Sox.
Sorry Zack Collins, it's all about Yermin now.
