07/26: Nady/Marte Trade Changed and Roster Adjustments Made (Gardner, Hawkins and Igawa Affected)
The Yankees trade for
Xavier Nady and Damaso Marte has been adjusted.
Peter Abraham reports that, instead of receiving Phil Coke and George Kontos, the Pirates will receive righty pitchers Dan McCutchen and Jeff Karstens.
The
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette is reporting, according to a source, one of Coke or Kontos has labrum damage - but, the source would not say who.
To make room for Nady (who started today against the Red Sox) and Marte,
the Yankees optioned Brett Gardner to Triple-A and DFA'd reliever LaTroy Hawkins. Also, the Yankees took Kei Igawa off the 40 man roster after he passed waivers. Meaning, no one wanted him for free.
