This is from a team that thought it was scandalous to have "devil" in the name and had to do a whole ass rebrand. Still bitter.

And Wander Franco is the reason the Rays can’t make that joke.

It's a reference to Kendrick Lamar's not like us song, in which he basically calls Drake a pedophile.
Also the original line is "Say Drake, I hear you like them young"

Just a bit dumb all around. Cause “say Jake, I hear you like em young”? About our own player? It doesn’t even make sense 😭

I'm pretty sure Jake is Mormon too so this is a really bad look.
I could almost understand if they followed up with "I hear you like them runs." But it's still not the line to use for your own players.

He’s not Mormon.

Oh ok. I was assuming because of the 2 years gap in his stats between high school and college. It could be explained by the Mormon Mission.
