Welcome to 2019, folks.
Blake Snell was streaming on Twitch when reports of the Tommy Pham trade surfaced Thursday night, meaning the world got a rare candid reaction of a professional athlete learning that a teammate had been dealt.
The Tampa Bay Rays ace was not pleased.
"We gave Pham up for Renfroe and a damn slapdick prospect?" Snell said after facepalming.
Pham was a key contributor on a Rays team that took the eventual American League champion Houston Astros to five games in this year's ALDS. He hit 21 home runs and slashed .273/.369/.450 in 145 regular-season contests.
Veteran outfielder Hunter Renfroe and shortstop prospect Xavier Edwards are reportedly heading to Tampa Bay as part of the deal, with Pham and a yet-to-be-named minor-leaguer going the other way.
