Report: Yankees deal for Nady, Marte
The Yankees have acquired Pirate's outfielder Xavier Nady and lefthander Damaso Marte, according to ESPN.com's Buster Olney, but Yankees general manager Brian Cashman didn't comfirm the deal and said he “wasn’t aware of any trade.”
“You’d have to talk to the Pirates,” he said.
A Pirates spokesman confirmed to Olney that a trade is in place.
"There is a trade in place, pending medical reviews of all the players involved on both clubs," Pirates director of media relations Jim Trdinich said, according to Olney. "That is all that is permissible to be announced at this time."
Yankees manager Joe Girardi declined to comment on the trade after the Yankees' 1-0 win over the Red Sox Friday night.
“I can’t really talk about something that hasn’t happened,” he said. “There’s nothing official.”
Under the reported conditions, the Pirates would get four minor-league players in return including three pitchers and an outfielder. There are also rumors the Yankees are interested in Mariners lefthander Jarrod Washburn. The unrestricted trade deadline is Thursday (July 31).
Nady and Marte are nice additions....what a steal...!!
Holy macaroni...here comes the Yankees.
The Sox need to make some trades, Ellsbury is struggling, Lugo is just terrible and Crisp is a bust... the bullpen really needs a boost as well, the yanks aren't afraid to pull the trigger
wake me up when they trade for major leaguers.
This is precisely whats terribly sick/wrong --- with MLB....the Yankees trade up for Nady....an excellent player because they can afford......the small market teams pander for moo-la.........its a sick sport.
