07/30: Yanks Trade Farnsworth for Pudge Rodriguez
I'm not joking. Really, I'm not. The deal is complete and was announced on YES during the Yankees' pregame show. Joe Girardi said during the postgame interview that he had made Farnsworth aware of the deal and that it was "very tough."
Man, as much as I've killed the guy over the last three years, I've started to take a bit of a liking to Professor Farnsworth. I guess he became more expendable after the deal for Damaso Marte, however.
Pudge still has a little bit left in the tank, as he's put up a line of .295/.338/.417 and is still very solid defensively.
