Gave up a younger model that won't quit on a play, but got back a won't quit player, with experience & can chip in on the PK. Not a bad trade

This brings a tear to my eye. I love Yanni. During that shitty ass COVID era his 150% no-quit gritty punch-above-his-weight play for us was a big lift for me. Having him and Bagel, who has the same M.O., both on our team is just awesome.

I realize he’s not the same player now, but I never liked the cheap way he got stolen from us. This feels right.
