Yankees acquire catcher Ivan Rodriguez - 07-30-2008, 02:53 PM

The New York Yankees have found a replacement for Jorge Posada.

New York acquired catcher Ivan Rodriguez from the Tigers on Wednesday for right-handed pitcher Kyle Farnsworth.

Rodriguez, who is in the final year of his contract, waived his no-trade clause to join the Yankees, sources told ESPN.com.

"He's hitting over .290 I believe and he's been hot so we're looking forward to having him," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said after New York's 13-3 rout of the Orioles on Wednesday.

SICK deal. Farnsworth was giving up home runs each time he pitched so getting rid of him and addressing our catching issues in 1 deal is perfect. He actually has been pitching well lately so we got rid of him when his value was somewhat decent. I liked Molina just because he through out everyone who tried to steal but his bat really hurt us.
I don't know what we are going to do next year when Posada and Matsui come back because we are going to have to many catchers and outfielders but we have to wait and see.

I think this is a good deal for both sides. Obviously it's going to be a huge boost having Pudge as your starting catcher than Molina who is replacing Posada for the time being. He's a veteran who knows how to get the job done. As for the Tigers, they already have Inge who can be the catcher...and I think they need some bullpen help due to the injuries of the pitchers. Farnsworth is a solid reliever if he gets out of his "slump" right now if I recall. He has a great fastball and is somewhat decent IMO.

Damn Kyle was in tears when they were interviewing him about being traded.

Haha yeah and as for Farnsworth, he gave up 3 runs in the 8th to blow the game for the Tigers today (gave up 2 home runs which he is known for), which allowed Tampa to come back and win. So even when he isn't in pinstripes, he is still killing us in the standings

the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear,
is that moment when he has worked his heart out
in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle - victorious.
