Atlanta Braves acquire Alfonso Soriano from Cubs

[BFH]

Traded them Kris Medlen and Jaye Chapman. We also got a boatload of cash in the deal. They got the Cubs to dish in $17M this season and then $13M every year after that to offset Soriano's $18M salary through 2014.

Bullpen looks to be filled out by the trio of Livan Hernandez, Yohan Flande and Cory Gearrin.

Nice April Fools joke. After posting many of the April Fools jokes here I was expecting it. It was easy to catch since it sounded like the perfect JS trade. Mike Hampton part 2.

You should go root for another team, Freddy. It's pretty clear you don't care for the Braves anymore. /joshing
