So nomar now gets to play with a team that hasnt won since 1908, even better!!!!
Sox get Cabrera & Mientkiewicz.
Yanks trade Contreras for Loaiza, whom i'd honestly rather have than johnson we got enough geriatric pitchers.
atleast contraras wasnt as bad as hideki irabu... yeah...

Mets traded away Kazmir - that sucks.
I'm glad the Yanks got Loaiza, he's a solid pitcher and should work out better than Contreras.
I wonder if his family has to go back to Cuba now.

Jayson Stark, of ESPN, in his most recent Winners and Losers column at ESPN.com?
It's up to Rick Peterson to tap the magic in Zambrano's arm. To do it, he's going to have to make a whole bunch of walks and hit batters disappear. But this is also a guy who throws 96 miles an hour and was holding opposing hitters to a .230 batting average. So he's eminently salvageable. In fact, Peterson reportedly told the Mets he could get Zambrano straightened out "in 10 minutes." And if he's right, that Mets rotation just got very dangerous.
Peterson is also the big reason Benson immediately told the Mets he wants to sign and stick around. Benson and Tom Glavine share the same agent - Greg Clifton. So Benson is well aware of what the pitching coach did for Glavine this year. This potentially gives them maybe the NL East's deepest rotation for the rest of this year and beyond.
