It’s a funny thing watching as Cubs fans find out about the trade (Bradley to Seattle for Carlos Silva and cash). It’s hard to know how to feel, and then the pure joy of not wasting another minute thinking about Milton Bradley sets in.

So who is Carlos Silva? Here’s his career stats. However, Mariners fans surely have another take, as in his M’s career Silva lost 18 games and won only 5 over the last two seasons.

Here are some of the best early fan reactions, via Twitter:

@alexquigley: Losing Milton Bradley for Carlos Silva feels like finally breaking up w/ a crazy girl…who in turn burns down your house.

@bitterjoe:Carlos Silva is so bad the M’s sent him and $9M to the #Cubs for Milton Bradley. And M’s fans are celebrating.

@draysbay: Carlos Silva wanted to choke Ichiro in 2008. Let’s not act like he’s some clubhouse saint. Plus he’s worse at baseball.

@payollely: Carlos Silva and Milton Bradley are trending topics! I don’t care what anyone says, this is an early Christmas present for #Cubs fans!

This is going to be a fun one to dissect. More news as this continues to develop..
