Taijuan Walker expertly trolls the MLB trade deadline

Great command, nasty stuff, late movement. The kid's got it all.

Joe Nicholson-USA TODAY Sports

EVERYONE IS KIND OF A LITTLE STRESSED OUT RIGHT NOW, OKAY. THE CLOCK IS TICKING DOWN TOWARDS THE MLB TRADE DEADLINE, THERE ARE SUDDENLY THESE RUMORS INVOLVING A MASSIVE THREE-TEAM DEAL FOR DAVID PRICE AND EVERYONE IS JUST HONESTLY FRANKLY A LITTLE ON EDGE IF WE'RE BEING HONEST.

As a result of this, all kinds of dumb stuff is happening. Fake Ken Rosenthal accounts are being cited on the MLB Network. Actual Jim Bowden tweets are weirder and more misleading than fake Ken Rosenthal tweets, somehow. And Taijuan Walker of the Seattle Mariners, who is rumored to be a part of that three-team deal for David Price, is not helping.

WAIT WHAT? WHAT HAPPENED? IS THAT THE RESPONSE OF A YOUNG DUDE WHO HAS JUST REALIZED HE'S MOVING TO DETROIT? OR IS HE SAD THAT THE MARINERS TRADED ONE OF HIS CLOSE FRIENDS OH LORD IT'S JAMES PAXTON ISN'T IT HE'S ALSO BEING TRADED ISN'T IT WHY WOULD YOU TRADE BOTH...

I mean, maybe you should've. But for the moment, Taijuan Walker, just enjoy the satisfaction of a troll-job well done. Nasty stuff, amazing command, late movement and great deception: the kid's got it all.

Get yourself that sandwich, bud, you've earned it.
