Trades are very tricky for the Yankees.  Everyone wants to hold them up for all they are worth.  This is especially true for young talent.  The same does not seem the case for other teams.  Remember the Beckett deal.  It was the off-season after 2005.

I don’t think Kennedy, Melky and Torbata gets it done.  If the Marlins were willing to part with Miguel Cabrera for Melky, Kennedy and Torbata – I would do that.  But I don’t think that will do it.  I may be pleasantly surprised though…..  I think the asking price starts at Hughes and Kennedy or [...]

Is it the right move?
I’m interested to hear thoughts on this from the roundtable.
I am on record that I do not want to give up either Hughes or Joba for this guy.
