Yanks Dodge Another Bullet

When rumors first began circulating about a deal involving Melky Cabrera, Mike Gonzalez and Adam LaRoche last month I was less than thrilled. Well, the deal was done today, but Melky was taken out of the equation. The Pirates traded Gonzalez to the Braves straight up for Adam LaRoche.

At least for now, it looks like Melky is going to be a Yankee this season, and thank God for that. The "Got Melky?" t-shirt my wife bought me for Christmas will be in full effect at the Stadium come April.

We may not have the Melk-Man for long if the "insiders" are correct. The Braves may move Gonzalez and the Yanks are still interested.

I'm hoping you heard this from a sports talk radio idiot like Mike or the Mad Dog, because I can't find it anywhere and it better not be true. As far as I know, the Yanks could've had Gonzalez if they were willing to part w/ Melky. Ugh, thanks for ruining my day.

im still wondering why doug mientkewitz is going to be out every day 1b . that is the worst idea we had yet. giambino is fine at fist melky and matsui can alternate lf and dh. im still fuming about that move.. by the way take the bears this weekend it will be a blowout

Don't hate on Mike and the Mad Dog!! I put 2 and 2 together with the final paragraph of the ESPN story:
Some baseball insiders are speculating that the Braves might be interested in flipping around Gonzalez as part of a second deal. The Yankees, among other clubs, have expressed interest in Gonzalez.

Hope it ain't so.
