Seattle Mariners top prospect Julio Rodriguez is on his way to the Show.
This morning, it was announced that Rodriguez was going to make the Mariners’ Opening Day roster.
This is great for the game.
It’s time for service-time manipulation to stop, as what fans really want to see is exciting young talent ready to burst onto the scene.
Rodriguez has a chance to do just that as he prepares to begin his career with a Mariners team that has something to prove entering the 2022 season.
But if we look back on a tweet from Rodriguez in 2019, we might just discover that he saw this coming from a mile away and that he ultimately predicted the future.

J-Rod Ready To Strike
One thing is for sure.
The hard work and dedication Rodriguez was talking about in his 2019 tweet has paid off and he will finally have an opportunity to show what he is made of.
You might say he called the shot.
You might say he predicted the future.
But he trusted the process that he was talking about in that tweet and that process has ultimately paid dividends in his ascension to the Major Leagues.
Now we all wait in anticipation to see what this man can do at the big-league level.
Rodriguez is just one of many young stars ready to burst onto the scene and make an impact for their respective teams.
This kid is certainly going to be fun to watch.
We’ll see if he can be as good as advertised and take the baseball world by storm.
The talent is there.
Now it’s time to see if he can take this opportunity and run with it.
