The Braves finally landed an elite setup man Wednesday when they agreed to trade injury-plagued starting pitcher Horacio Ramirez to Seattle for reliever Rafael Soriano, whose eye-popping statistics include a .212 opponents' average and 177 strikeouts in 171 career innings. The deal, expected to be announced Thursday, was confirmed by an official with one of the teams. It needed the final approval of a Mariners physician, who was traveling Wednesday. Trading for Soriano didn't mean the Braves would keep first baseman Adam LaRoche, but they did withdraw their offer of LaRoche for Pirates closer Mike Gonzalez.Wow. Hahahahahahahaha
