What?

Mariners are sending more players to the Yankees than just Pineda. Pineda is the only known name. Brandon League is not in the package.

Good, someone to provide Smoak with some protection.

Even with this trade, the Yankees have three awesome catching prospects. Sanchez, Romine, and Murphy. I think its a good trade for Yanks for sure.

Hence my surprise at the mention of a package.
I really wonder what Jack Z knows that the rest of us don't. 6'7" power pitchers don't exactly grow on trees.

Heyman says the Yankees originally offered Montero, Banuelos, Betances, and two more players for Felix. Zduriencik said Felix was untouchable everytime. It turned into the Mariners sending Pineda and other players to NY for Montero.

Im guessing the Yanks are sending a pitching prospect over too, lets see.
Dang, Felix must give great blowjobs.

Twitter says it's Pineda & Campos for Montero & Noesi.

Noesi is a nice pick up along with Montero. I like the move for the M's.

MARINERS GET:
-- C Jesus Montero
-- P Hector Noesi
YANKEES GET:
-- P Michael Pineda
-- P Jose Campos
-- C Jesus Montero
-- P Hector Noesi
YANKEES GET:
-- P Michael Pineda
-- P Jose Campos
I have no idea what to think of this trade. On one hand we get a good young cost controled pitcher, but I really like Jesús. He could have been a middle of the order bat for years especially with Jeter, arod and Teix in their mid thirties. Pineda out of safeco scares me a bit.
Edit: We gave up noesi as well? Great. I don't know much about Campos. Can Mariners' fans tell me about him.

I really like this deal for the Yankees.
The truth is A-Rod is going to have to move to DH much sooner rather than later. The Yankees also have a couple other players who could use regular playing time at DH. They free up the DH spot and also happen to get one of the best young pitchers in baseball.

Yeah I'd be a bit worried about him outside of Safeco as well ... but he is still nasty. I have a feeling Campos will be good also ... he is only 19, but doesn't walk many and still strikes out a good amount.
Also Pineda's shoulder / elbow could explode .... he has had troubles in the minors before.
Pineda is a strikeout pitcher with tons of upside. Giving up Jesus for him hurts but if he comes close to hitting his projections this will have been a good trade overall.

As an Mariners fan, I actually really like this deal.
The optimist in me tells me that this will be one of those rare deals that works out extremely well for both teams. Here's to hoping the new parks don't have too much of an effect on both players.
THIS. I fear they'll keep him as a DH but I'd love to at least see them continue to try him at catcher.

Well then
EDIT - Sabathia/Pineda/Kuroda/Nova/AJ-Hughes-Whatever
I will absolutely take that.
Tweets poppin' out that Nova might be involved in that Pineda trade.

1 east coast source tells me nova may be in the deal, and that this doesn't necessarily mean the mariners are out on prince fielder

Nona and Noesi? keeps getting better for the M's.
o ok if Nova stays, seems like AJ is as good as out. If Hughes' velocity doesn't magically disappear of course.

Jesus Christ, fuck McCourt and Colletti. Couldn't even shell out the money to keep our own guy.
Kuroda was a class act and an extremely underrated pitcher, and if his physical skills hold up for another year, he'll be a great addition to the Yankees.
But seriously, fuck McCourt. We should have extended Kuroda months ago.

What does any of that matter? Dodgers are in disaster mode. Unless he was willing to accept $2-3 million to stay there it would be a waste.

Noesi isnt crap but I see where ur coming from. I've read that Campos has a very high ceiling and that at such an early age he's already striking out a lot of batters without walking much.

Yankees and Hiroki Kuroda have agreed on a 1-year, $10 million deal.
Man I hope Hultzen and Paxton are ready sooner rather than later this rotation:
Felix!
Vargas
Iwakuma
Beavan
Furbush
does not excite me.
He's a crappier Ivan Nova and Campos is a guy whose ceiling is ridiculously high right now. The Mariners traded a guy who has already performed as a starter at the MLB level and a high ceiling pitching prospect for a DH who posted an .843 OPS at AAA and a dude who is at best a back end starter.
I feel ripped off a little.

Noesi has better stuff and a higher ceiling than Nova. He can be a middle of the rotation starter if he reaches that ceiling.
Don't forget, the Yankees signed Freddy Garcia to a one year deal -- which he deserved. After tonights, it looks like Burnett is being moved.
I could see Hughes being stationed to the bullpen, with his shaky performance the last season and a half.
Sabathia, Pineda, Kuroda, Nova, Garcia
I like Noesi but I don't get why he and Campos were involved. Mariners' must of really liked Noesi.

Red Sox and Mike Sweeney have agreed to a 1-year, $1.75 million deal.
So we traded two elite potential players for one good to great potential and one average potential.
Meh.
