Reed to Barves.

also Paul Maholm apparently

9:55pm: Johnson and Paul Maholm have been traded to the Braves, Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports tweets.

I wonder what the braves gave up.

 

[Windu]

Johnson yay, malholm eww. I hope we didnt give up anything.

 

[harSon]

At least Marte is having a solid game.

I'm starting to think we're not going to get any kind of a bat before the trade deadline, which is going to suck considering our hitting, while not non-existent like last season, has cooled off a bit and our starting pitching and bullpen seem to be in shambles :/

 

[Jubs]

Maholm? Hopefully it's for Jurrjens straight up.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Maholm has a 1.00 ERA in his last 6 starts.

 

[zulux21]

10:08pm: The Cubs are getting two minor league pitchers in the deal, ESPN.com's Jerry Crasnick tweets. Mike Minor, Randall Delgado, Julio Teheran and Sean Gilmartin aren't in the trade.

I am guessing that is good news for braves fans?
I don't know their farm system at all.

 

[rando14]

Damn I missed the Montero "mash"

 

[Corran Horn]

lol "out"

 

[The Frankman]

YEAR OF THE MOTHERFUCKING UMPS.

EDIT: HE NEVER HAD THE FUCKING BALL. Wasn't even close, GTFO here with that shit.

Why couldn't we top this trade then :|

 

[Fenix]

Strike zone looks brutal.

Yes good news, although the braves have a good crop of pitchers after those.

 

[harSon]

The Pirates put way too much stock into their prospects. I can understand of being protective of Cole and Marte, considering they're pretty much guaranteed to be productive in the future, but everyone else is a question mark :|

 

[rando14]

lol sit down Encarnacion, you had 3 strikes thrown at you

Not good news for Cubs fans, however. Going through some of ATL's other minor leaguers, I see some potential underneath that tier, but was really hoping for at least one of those guys. Glad Maholm has been beast mode lately so we could sell high on him. I knew he was gonna get traded after his last outing, but was surprised how under the radar he was on the rumor mill.

 

[The Frankman]

Thank God he walked Bay on 4 pitches. 1st and 2nd, 2 out. Ronny Cedeno up.

 

[Dominican Power]

Astros have paid the ransom.

 

[The Frankman]

Wooo 2-out, 2 run double for Ronny Cedeno! Another pair of RBIs with 2 outs for the Mets! 2-1 game!

 

[cuevas. PhD.]

Shut up lamb

that would be the steal of the century if the braves gave up one of those for those two.

 

[cashman]

Rangers are also getting cash from the Cubs.

Your avatar creeps me out.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Time to pull Harang before he makes it harder for us.

 

[The Frankman]

What are you DOING Ike? Turn the DP that ends the inning!

If that costs the Mets... geez.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Cubs and Giants had a trade for Alfonso Soriano agreed on, but Soriano refused to waive his no-trade for the Giants.

 

[tc farks]

Supposedly Jaye Chapman is part of the return for Maholm/Reed

Some obvious control problems but a very nice K rate.

 

[tc farks]

Ken Rosenthal @Ken_Rosenthal
#Cubs could have an even bigger deal coming - with a red-hot division rival. Story: msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/mlb-… #Reds

Sup Reds?

 

[Dominican Power]

Probably doesn't want to play in that ball park.

 

[Fenix]

Gose needs high socks, makes him faster.

 

[harSon]

Sup Reds?

:/

Do something Pirates

 

[rando14]

Whew, thank you Safeco Field!

edit: I think gose got yotu'd

Surprised no AL teams have come knocking. There's still time.

 

[cashman]

Rangers have DFA'd Yorvit Torrealba.

Your avatar creeps me out.

Why is it creepy?

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Harang you piece of shit.

 

[Macattk15]

Maybe Montero can be a catcher!

 

[tc farks]

RT @Ken_Rosenthal: Source: Vizcaino and Chapman to #Cubs for Maholm and Johnson.

Vizcaino currently out due to TJS

 

[Fenix]

Was pretty close.

But yes, he was safe.

 

[tc farks]

It's Vizcaino.

[rando14]

PEGUERO REPRESENTIN' THAT .171 OBP!!!

Seriously, get him outta here. Bring Trayvon back.

 

[The Frankman]

Nice hustle by Andres Torres there.

 

[tc farks]

Vizcaino was #40 in BA's Top 100 heading into 2012

 

[ianswoody]

[Fenix]

Alright Ricky, THAT one's on you.

10:31pm: Jaye Chapman is going to the Cubs in the deal, Crasnick tweets.
