The Kyle Kendrick prank trade revisited

In February, Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Kyle Kendrick believed he was traded to Japan for “Kobayashi Iwamura” before he learned the transaction was fake. Kendrick’s Wikipedia page says that the names of the fabricated player came from Takeru Kobayashi and infielder Akinori Iwamura of the Tampa Bay Rays, who are currently opposing the Phillies in the World Series. Kendrick did not pitch effectively enough in the regular season to make the post season roster.
