O.K how could Pudge be traded to NEW YORK??

Question

I D K how to get his autograph now...it really sux that he isn't playing for Detroit anymore...OMG! THIS IS WEIRD! anyone else think they should've traded someone else for their new pitcher? I mean Pudge has helped the Tigers so much! He's a future hall of famer....

Answer 1

I think this switch-er-oo has probably been in the works since Pudge became a free agent. First they take Brandon Inge (My Tiger) off 3rd. base, then they make Rodney the closer all of a sudden, Jonesy is well iffy.  They got a reliever-Kyle Farnsworth. He's a former Tiger, a good pitcher.  They needed a good reliever so basically they gave up Pu.dge. Being the pro Pudge is, he is saying he's ready to go to NY and do the best job there he can for them. I'm sorry to see him go too. It's very disappointing!

Answer 2

I agree. How are any local Detroit fans going to get an autograph!?! thats just insane. What was the GM thinking. He better call up Stienbrenner and say can we redo this?

Answer 3

I think that Leyland agreed to this trade because the Tigers are in need of some good pitching, and Farnsworth did well for them for a bit. I also think the the GM thinks Inge will do well at catcher. But the Yankees only get players for a sshort time, when they need it. When Posada's healthy, Pudge is probably going to get traded, along with Sexson. I also think the Tigers are getting a little desperate trying to live up to their reputation. Personally I think they should have traded T. Jones.

Answer 4

great!!!!! pudge going to ny

Answer 5

Ya, that was a wierd pickup

the Yankees already have molina...

Who did the tiges get?

Answer 6

Pudge is done don't worry about it.

Answer 7

i really don't know what to make of it.

i'm a marlins fan and i KNOW how much pudge means to a team, but he IS getting older. this could be a good/bad situation for the yankees. they need more hitting so maybe they thought he could add some more experience to the up & down team.

Answer 8

The Yankees got away a with a steal. Like you said pudge is a future hall of famer.*

Answer 9

The Tigers needed a reliever and the Yankees needed a catcher to help molina. It makes sense for both sides, and Pudge didn't want to be in Detroit anymore.
