This seems like a great move for the Yanks.
I will let you know more as soon I as I do.
Baseball Prospectus is also reporting the news.
UPDATE: Rotoworld is reporting that Jose Tabata is also in the deal.
OK we have the trade: Ross Ohlendorf, Phil Coke, Jose Tabata and George Kontos for Damaso Marte and Xavier Nady.

YES! They have the best bullpen in the majors no doubt. Im sad to see Tabata go ,but the injuries and stuff kind of made him expendable. Good move Cash ( as long as Tabata doesnt become the next Manny).
well, that means no Bonds. Will they be here for just this year or next too?
I don't mind that. Nady and Marte are great pick ups.
So with those two joining the team, who else is gonna be sent down along with Christian?
Hawkins maybe? DFA?
I would assume so.
The 4: Jose Tabata, Ross Ohlendorf, Phil Coke and George Kontos.
I'm guessing it will be Gardner and Geise.
Yanks are paying Hawkins 1.25 mil.
I hope it's Hawkins, but I doubt it.
there goes my "got coke" t-shirt idea. fuuuuuuuuu@k!
HAHAHA, NICE!
Good trade.
After this trade and our recent success, I feel really good about our chances this year. Greg, I think your 2008 Prediction could come true, as all of us wish it will. The big IF is if we can get Wang back pitching like Wang by September. IF we do, we will have a great rotation for the playoffs. Wang, Andy, Joba and Moose. Thats a pretty sick foursome. Along with the bullpen, we could very well have the best pitching staff, come playoff time. Which would be very different from previous years, when we were all offense and no pitching.
Our offense isnt as potent but it is still up their with the best. i think the addition of Nady will do wonders, especially in the playoffs. I think we will all see alittle of Paul O'Neill in him. A clutch hitter who's all about winning and a team player.
I am very excited about this team, something just tells me this is the year. I didnt even mention Phil Hughes, who can just add to our already deep rotation. Its amazing how much different I view this team from about 2 months ago. It may a bit over the top, and b/c were winning now, but I like what I see. I like our chances. Sorry I wrote a novel, but I had to get my excitement out there.
