It's April 5, not April 1.

He's also now saying that they traded Kimbrel. Can't be real?

 

[Hawk]

MLBTR is going with it as legitimate. Holy ****.

Hearing Maybin and Quentin going to #Braves. Kimbrel and Melvin Upton to #Padres, per @kileymcd. Likely more involved.

I'm ****ting all over myself right now.

Wisler in the deal going to Braves.

@kileymcd: Source: Matt Wisler, Carlos Quentin and Cameron Maybin headed to Atlanta in the Upton/Kimbrel deal.

This is awesome!

@jonmorosi: Wisler in the deal going to Braves.

Saw the Kimbrel inclusion. I figured there would have to be a legitimate player shipped with Upton to get a deal done. Odd timing.

I don't even know how to react to this.

It's true: #Braves have traded KImbrel and Upton to the Padres, but there's more to come.

So, as best I understand it now, ATL sends Kimbrel and BJ Upton to SD for Carlos Quentin, Cameron Maybin, Matt Wisler and Jordan Paroubeck

 

[MadduxFanII]

Uh...holy ****.

 

[MadduxFanII]

I guess I can't complain about the half-ass re-build any more.
