A Busy Day: Drew To Yankees, Miller To Orioles

Stephen Drew has been traded to the Yankees for Kelly Johnson. It's the first trade between the two rivals since 1997. (So will Jeter be moving to third base to make room for Drew?)

And Andrew Miller has been dealt to the Orioles in exchange for pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez, the #3 prospect in the Orioles' farm system according to mlb.com. Rodriguez is 21 years old and pitching in AA.

LOL. Remember when people asked that seriously re A-Rod?

I always said there was only way to get Jeter out of SS, and it's finally going to happen at the end of this season.

Supposedly, Drew will play 2B.

I have no idea but this has to be the most players a team has traded at the deadline ever. At least a World Champion team.

Quite a job Farrell is going to have over the next couple of days and weeks.

A crazy, busy day. Remember when we used to lament that we sat still at the trading deadline ???
