Rays’ Blake Snell has NSFW reaction to Tommy Pham trade while streaming on Twitch

He wasn’t happy.

The San Diego Padres are about to make a move that will continue to help them build a contending team.

Per USA TODAY Sports, the Padres are “on the verge” of acquiring outfielder Tommy Pham, who had an .818 OPS to go with 21 home runs and 25 steals, in exchange for power hitting outfielder Hunter Renfroe. The two teams will also swap prospects.

It’s a move that may not make Rays fans happy even though Renfroe slugged 33 dingers last year. But it might be necessary for a Rays team that always has to be budget-conscious since Pham could earn a big raise in arbitration.

And now we get to Pham’s now-former teammate, ace hurler Blake Snell, who happened to be streaming on Twitch when he saw the news break about the trade. He wasn’t pleased. (WARNING: NSFW language ahead):

“We gave Pham up for Renfroe and a damn (expletive) prospect?”

Snell later clarified with more feelings about Pham, saying he was “upset” that the Rays gave up “the swag of our team”:

Hopefully his new teammate Renfroe doesn’t take that the wrong way when they see each other for Spring Training.
