Report: The Phillies Have Traded Marlon Byrd (UPDATE: Nope)

Jim Bowden of ESPN is reporting that the Phillies have traded Marlon Byrd to the Yankees. Updates coming.

UPDATE: Nope. Jim Bowden – and therefore the rest of Earth – was duped by a fake Joel Sherman account:

UPDATE 2: Bowden’s Tweet was real. The fun part is, he didn’t credit Joel Sherman or the fake Joel Sherman. Double bad look. Something goofy’s going on with his account now:

THE DANGERS OF DEADLINE DAY

UPDATE 3: It looks as though Bowden has changed his handle from (@JimBowdenESPNxm) to (@JimBowdiv). Maybe no one will notice.

UPDATE 4: Bowden has freaked out.

  1. “He didn’t credit neither…” What the fuck is that sentence supposed to mean?

    1. He beat them because he was wrong when he did the same thing Bowden did, tweeting the news Byrd had been traded. Don’t see how messing up at your job is a success.
