Johnson & Maholm traded to Braves for RHP Vizcaino & Chapman

[Little Slide Rooter]

Perhaps more exciting is that Brett Jackson was just removed from the I Cubs game.

 

And even more exciting was that he hadn't struck out yet (0-3) when he was pulled from the game...

 

But seriously, wouldn't make sense to call him up to take Reed's spot unless they're going to bench LaHair. Soriano's spot, on the other hand....

 

And benching LaHair's becoming a very real possibility.

Brett Jackson, unless he's(he is) part of the deal...

 

since we were talking about him being taken out of the ICubs game.

It appears Reed Johnson has been traded. source said 4 teams made best offer today. Pittsburgh and Detroit were two of the teams.

 

Hopefully it was pittsburgh, he can just change uniforms and start playing for them.

 

Remember a few years back when Ray Durham was traded from the Giants to the Brewers while they were in the middle of a series together and since it hadn't completely gone though by the end of the series, at one point he was in the Giants dugout, though he was essentially a Brewer?

Did Brett Jackson just get pulled?

Hopefully Dempster doesn't veto this trade, too.

@BleacherNation: RT @BNightengale: Still awaiting news where #Cubs Reed Johnson is going. #Tigers have interest, and P prospect Thomas Collier pulled after 3

Beat me to it. I wonder if it was a package or separate deals.

 

EDIT: Hearing they're separate deals.
