Tim Hudson Traded Quotations

I wasn't that shocked, I had heard the rumors that something could happen, so it wasn't out of the blue. I think that if Billy were going to trade me, he was going to make a conscious effort to trade me somewhere where my family would be happy. And there isn't another place that I'd rather be traded to than Atlanta.

When I was traded from the Oakland A's to the Atlanta Braves before the 2005 season, a childhood dream was realized. I grew up a Braves fan just a few hours south of Atlanta, and it was hard for me to believe that I was going to actually play for the Atlanta Braves and legendary manager Bobby Cox.
