Pirates Trade Nady, Marte

[OldFatGuy]

The Pirates have traded OF Nady and reliever Marte. But they won't say to who, and for who. This is funny.

So, since we won't know for a day or two, might be fun to guess.


My guess, and this is biased because of hope, not knowledge, is

DODGERS.

For maybe Laroche and a minor leaguer.

Totally a guess.

Any others?

AND WTF WON'T THEY JUST ANNOUNCE ! ! ! !

Thank you! I just caught a bit of this during the Yankee game trying to find out who it was. I was hoping it was Bay, but oh well.

This is pretty weird lol. My Guess, New York for Ian Kennedy plus some, maybe Brett Gardener

SI is reporting its the Yankees, for basically minor league prospects.

I WAS RIGHT!!! It was too New York!! BOOO

[dannymac910]

THE YANKEES!!!

Ugh we traded Ohlendorf and Tabata. I was just getting attached to Ross. Marte will be a good addition. I just don't trust Nady enough to be real exited yet.

The SI article doesn't mention money. However, these are two very good major league quality players for basically 4 prospects. I'm betting some good ol'e New York cash is changing hands as well. Hope they report that too if its the case.

I hope they got that switch pitcher, he has a better chance there. Any one know how he is doing this season?

Here is the Yankees article on this:

VERY good pickup. I LOVE the move. I hate to give up Tabata, but Nady is having a great season, and we get Marte for 2 years (if we pick up his option). WS, here we come!

Go Yanks!

[RickD]

Yeah the only bad part to me for the Yanks is the loss of Tabata.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA,

Nady and Marte were the two missing pieces eh?? lmfao.....

[robinhoodnik]

That's the big deal?

Yeah, i've heard alot about Tabata in recent years. He's supposedly the next Walter Johnson, just a step below Phil 'Cy' Hughes, and Ian 'Koufax' Kennedy. His loss will be crippling.

BTW....those pitches weren't close, that was TERRIBLE umpiring. I was in a bar most of the game so I can't say for sure if he was consistent during the game.
