Yankees / Pirates strike a deal

Rumors out Pittsburgh are that the New York Yankees and Pittsburgh Pirates have struck a deal. The rumors began before tonight’s Pirates game but picked up steam when Xavier Nady was pulled after the first inning. The deal calls for Nady and Damaso Marte to join the Yankees. In return, NY sends stud hitting prospect Jose Tabata, Ross Ohlendorf , Phil Coke, George Kontos. As always, this deal is pending a physical.

This deal is absolutely huge for the Yankees as it addresses two of their three glaring needs. They get Nady to be right handed corner outfielder, and Marte as their lefty arm in the pen and setup man for Mariano Rivera. General Brian Cashman gets kudos for this deal as it appears the Yankees did not give up much.

More info coming as it becomes available, as well as a detailed take on it.
