April Fool's Day trades

I'm not sure where I saw them exactly, but I can remember seeing at least 2 headlines/press releases yesterday verifying MLB trades.

One of them had Brian Roberts going to the Cubs for Felix Pie and 4 others and the other had Franklin Gutierrez going to the Giants for a couple of pitchers. And I know for a fact that I saw them both because I almost dropped Dave Roberts in one of my deeper leagues and I was looking to see if Pie was available at the same time.

Did anyone else see these or any other fake trades yesterday?

nah didn't really notice anything, mostly because I didn't really check any sites yesterday afternoon. It does happen though, sometimes the websites are more subtle than others and it can catch you off guard.

I'm pretty sure that I saw one of those 2 trades as a headline right here at realgm. I figured that somebody picked up the fake trade, posted the headline and then they took it down after they realized their error.
