Cubs Prospect Who Was Hugging Teammates Pulled The Greatest Troll Of The Season

The Chicago Cubs have trad...wait, he was pulled because of a tight hamstring? Ladies and gentlemen meet Cubs infield prospect Trent Giambrone, who just pulled off the greatest troll of the baseball season. During his game on Sunday, Giambrone was pulled early and was seen hugging teammates in the dugout. Naturally when you see that happens you automatically think a trade is going down. The Cubs have been in trade talks with several teams, looking to add more pitching help and Theo Epstein said as recently as Friday that the team was still going to be active until the very last minute of the trade deadline.

So, for about two hours every single Cubs fan aware of the news was trying to figure out who the Cubs were going to trade for. Even beat writers were trying to get to the bottom of it.

And then we finally got the news. Giambrone was pulled early because of a hamstring.

Again, the only reason we went into a frenzy was because Giambrone started hugging his teammates, signaling a trade. Troll of the year and I love it! That being said I still expect the Cubs to make one last trade before Tuesday's deadline.
