I don't have a link yet, but i just saw this on ESPNEWS. According to Buster Olney, the Yankees have traded Kyle Farnsworth to the Tigers for Ivan "Pudge" Rodriguez. I like this trade for the Yankees. Farnsworth is average at best, and the Yankees have guys in the minors who could easily replace him. Pudge has an OPS+ of 101 this year, so he's about a league average pitcher, which...

Kyle Farnsworth? Really? That's all we could get for a solid, everyday catcher who is, albeit, on the downside of his career and in the last year of his contract? I mean, Farnsworth is pretty good and all - at least, he's been pretty good this year - but I've got to believe that we [...]

Wednesday now has to be officially known as the greatest day of Kyle Farnsworth's New York Yankee career! Pitching well enough to get himself traded for catcher Ivan Rodriguez is probably the best thing Farnsworth has done for the Yankees in his three seasons in pinstripes.
No, this trade does not address the Yankees still-gaping need [...]

Carl Pavano of course who made his first rehab start for the RiverDogs last night. He's gonna be great in September.Sorry, I just had to make myself laugh. "To say you can count on them right now, given that neither have pitched in minor league games yet, would be an overstatement," Cashman said. (Hughes also pitched last night.)

When I was driving home last night shortly after the trade came down, I was listening to WDFN. I was more than a little taken aback by the number of callers saying good-riddance to Ivan Rodriguez. While there may be something to that in terms of evaluating the trade, there also seemed to [...]SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "A little Pudge appreciation", url: "http://www.detroittigersweblog...

Pudge Rodriguez for Kyle Farnsworth? My first reaction was, and who else did the Tigers get? Rodriguez is having a fine season, and there are teams that are really looking for catching help. Besides the Yankees, the Marlins had also inquired and were turned away. In other words it was kind [...]SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Pudge traded for Farnsworth", url: "http://www.detroittigersweblog...

It's always humorous when a non-Sports channel decides to try to report on something. For as much flak as we give ESPN, for the amount of info the ratio of mistakes to the amount of information they produce is pretty small. CNBC however rarely gets into the Sports game and hilarity ensues when they do....When big news breaks, it's always a struggle to try to put together...

Adios, Farnsy!The Yanks swapped Kyle Farnsworth for Pudge Rodriguez today, responding to Jorge's injury and getting rid of a guy who throws hard. Though he was showing improvement this year, I don't think anyone was comfortable when Farnsworth came into a game. In return, the Yanks get a future Hall-of-Famer, a clutch hitter with a gun. As long as he stays healthy, this...
