ESPN.com: MLB – Yankees acquire Trammell from Padres for White

I heard about the possibility of this this morning and thought it so absurd I didn’t give it a second thought. Then they went ahead and did it.

The Padres unload a little financial obligation and get a better defensive player. The Yankees get a healthier platoon DH sort and a young pitcher.

But since the Yanks had too many outfielders, and the Padres had too few, shouldn’t this have a been a two-for-one sort of deal?

Fantasy implications: Xavier Nady loses the bump up in playing time he earned because there seemed to be no where else to turn. Bubba Trammell probably loses some playing time, too.
