Wow...the Sox gave up a crapload to get him. Can't believe they are giving up on him already. I am assuming he will be an Abreu replacement?

[Outshined_One]

I kind of liked the pitcher the Yankees gave up (Marquez) a few years ago, but his numbers have been pretty underwhelming since then.

[17 Seconds]

great deal if that's all they gave up. KW has gotten killed with the Swisher thing

I have a feeling we may end up with Abreu...which I'm not completely opposed to.

[SouthSideRyan]

This was the perfect fit for the stupid lefty athletic RF need we made up.

[Post Count Padder]

Decent trade for the Yanks. Didn't give up much and can insert him at first base or CF.

[Jehrico]

I would have given Swisher one more year.

[C.C.]

Why'd they give up on him after 1 year? Unless he's rubbing Ozzie and Kenny the wrong way.

sox got wilson betemit too and some other class a pitcher, nunez.

Nady will be playing RF next season. I am hoping he plays left and this means Damon is traded as well, LOL Wishful thinking I know.

 

I can also see Swisher at 1B and no Tex.

[anabiono]

i honestly think swish should play 1b

 

he is also my candidate for comeback player of the year

 

excellent deal for the yanks

[nilodnayr]

Wow, salt in the wound.

Very much.

[Little Slide Rooter]

So who will the White Sox have embarass themselves in their intollerable commercials next year?

The Yanks can afford to buy their own equipment, they don't need to trade johnny damon for a bag of balls.

This looks like a good deal for the Yankees. Being a fan, I am pleased to see their first step into this offseason be a positive one. Now hopefully the CC rumors will not pan out.
