I am not much for predictions. I like sports for many reasons — among the biggest is that as opposed to most of life, we will get resolution on everything, from who wins each game to who earns awards to who captures championships.

I don’t like the current sports ecosystem in which folks boldly state — usually they scream, actually —what is going to happen and then boast about the one-in-four they get right.

So you know what is coming next, right? I am going to make a prediction. Hopefully, it is borne of history, observation and experience — and also comes with a larger point.

I am predicting that Anthony Volpe is going to be Gary Sánchez.
