montero is traded for pineda
JonHeymanCBS Jon Heyman
trade involves more players than that tho. @StoneLarry suggested it first
JonHeymanCBS Jon Heyman
montero was the hitter the mariners wanted, pineda fills need for yankees.

#yankees tried for #felix before acquiring pineda. #mariners wouldnt budge. #yanks woulda offered montero/banuelos/betances/etc./etc

RT @GregJohnsMLB No confirmation from team, but source says Mariners sending Pineda & Jose Campos to Yankees for Jesus Montero/Hector Noesi

pineda and jose campos to #yankees to montero and hector noesi, as greg johns said

Strong reaction so far from other teams: Some execs from other AL East teams believe Yankees just made an incredible trade.
I'll post more details to the story as soon as it's made available.

seattle gets raped. There goal should have been to emulate rays or giants. WTF is montero gonna do for that terrible offense on his own?

Montero is most often compared, in his style of hitting, to Edgar Martinez. Power, but also a great contact hitter,opposite field. But(more)

Seattle getting Noesi too is nice; but they're also supposedly giving up Campos who is one of their best prospects and a kid with huge upside...deal still looks stupid to me.

Wow this is a really good deal for Cashman to make. Montero is going to be a good hitter, but Pineda is a young potential #1 starter.

so seattle picks up a pitcher on cusp of mlb in noesi along with big bat montero. #yanks thrilled to upgrade rotation w/ pineda

it would have cost jays lawrie if seattle is looking for a high upside mlb ready hitter. So I don't think jays were much of a fit. But still Yankees improved big time.
Also seattle is now out of the fielder sweepstakes unless they have soured on Smoak. So there is still a slight ray of hope for jays fans.

I agree that I don't know what the Mariners are thinking. Why throw away such a valuable asset for a DH prospect?

Fantastic trade for New York. Hard to understand why Seattle values a DH so much. The Yankees can now go easily get a player to DH who would produce basically what Montero would have.

On top of this, the Yankees just signed Hiroki Kuroda -_-**!
http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2012/01/y ... um=twitterThe Yankees have agreed to a one-year contract with Hiroki Kuroda, pending a physical, tweets Jack Curry of the YES Network (Twitter link). The deal will pay Kuroda between $10-$11MM in 2012.

Yeah, this is what a team that actually cares about winning each year does.
