In an unexpected twist to everything that happens in the offseason of Major League Baseball, one of the owners of the Kansas City Royals, the famous Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes, made a prediction about one of the National League teams, which is obviously not his own, as Kansas City plays in the American League
Mahomes praises Mets strategy
It is also true that it is not very common to receive feedback from an athlete who is not dedicated to the same discipline, and perhaps that is why it is more remarkable and worthy of attention.
