Xavier Nady and Damaso Marte were seen giving out hugs in the Pittsburgh dugout today, and it wasn’t because they love giving hugs. Lefty dynamo Marte and outfielder (and one of my friends loves 
) Nady are definitely on the move. In fact, I found out just now that Marte and Nady are headed to the Boogie Down Bronx for Ross Ohlendorf, Phil Coke (who was pulled from his Trenton start after striking the side in the first inning tonight), George Kontos and Jose Tabata.
Putting Marte in the Yankees gives them the lefty advantage that they really did need. Sure Farnsy and Edwar have been lights out of late, and of course you can always count on Mo, but the Yankees did need a lefty and now they have him! Nady is an essential bat now that Posada can’t be everyday.
Very very exciting with the MLB trade deadline coming up!
