February 18, 200818 yr 'Trade' to Japan leaves Kendrick in shock Monday, Feb 18, 2008 1:36 am EST Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Kyle Kendrick was shocked to learn that he'd been traded to the Yomiuri Giants in Japan for a player named "Kobayashi Iwamura." "I don't know what to think right now," he told reporters outside his locker shortly after getting the news from assistant general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. Had he truly been thinking, he would have realized that such deals are prohibited. And with a little digging he could have found out that there is no Kobayashi Iwamura playing in Japan. The "trade" was, in fact, a prank. The ruse was orchestrated by pitcher Brett Myers and was elaborate enough to include Amaro, manager Charlie Manuel, Kendrick's agent, the media and others.
February 18, 200818 yr Good to see Brett Myers joking around and not trying to beat his wife up or yelling at reporters.
February 18, 200818 yr thats pretty funny, but i felt bad for him...that would suck for those 10 minutes that he actually believed it.....meanwhile i guess bret myers is a funny guy when hes not beating his wife in public

February 18, 200818 yr This makes me laugh as I was just watching (more like falling asleep to) Mr. Baseball last night. Makes me chuckle.
February 18, 200818 yr I read the thread title and maybe the first couple lines of the post about two hours ago and took it as truth,then thought about it and said to myself they cant even do that.Then I thought of Kelso on that 70's show "I got my eye on you!".
