Huge pick up for the Yankees.
I lived in NY for a few years when I was a youngster and got to watch Mantle and Maris play. Grew up a Yankees fan and so I'm happy about the trade.

As a Reds fan, on the one hand I'm disappointed that the Reds probably won't be making any moves. Why trade a guy like a Dunn or Arroyo when the market will only get you a Kyle Farnsworth in return.
On the other hand, the Reds are also flush with Kyle Farnsworths, and aren't turning any of them in Pudge Rodriguezes either.

No posts in the Yankees thread for an entire month?
I'm sure that will change now that the postseason's here.
Just to recap for the 3 largest cities in the country:
# of L.A. area teams still playing baseball - 2
# of Chicago teams still playing baseball - 2 (I'm counting that make-up game today!)
# of N.Y. teams still playing baseball - 0

YANKS CAN USE STADIUM TO LURE KING OF HILL
FIELD OF DREAMS: This is how the new Yankee Stadium looked yesterday, but the Bombers wouldn't mind seeing pitcher CC Sabathia in the picture when it opens.
CC SABATHIA must see this! The Yankees are getting vibes that the pitching jewel of the free-agent class wants to play in California. However, it's their intent to use the new Yankee Stadium as a recruiting tool.
Yesterday The Post received a private tour of the House The Boss Built, and you would have to be crazy not to want to play in the palace that is replacing a cathedral.
It is 1.4 million square feet of tasteful elegance that marries old and new very well.
Players are oblivious to the cost of seats or luxury boxes. They want facilities, and this place is loaded with the best.
Walk into the 25,000-square-foot clubhouse and straight ahead you see Derek Jeter's locker, which, like every other stall, will be equipped with computer screens. Jorge Posada picked his locker out earlier this week. Maybe Sabathia can dress on the other side.
Every player's whim has been addressed. An underground parking lot with an elevator dedicated to the clubhouse. A colossal weight room. Two therapy pools. A state-of-the-art video room and a batting cage between the dugout and the clubhouse. A food room with a full kitchen that will be staffed.
Sod will be put down in a week. Yesterday, a tractor leveled the dirt portion of the infield. By April, the bars and restaurants will be open. The first game is an exhibition tilt against the Blue Jays in early April. The home opener is April 16 against the Indians.
Will Sabathia be on the hill in pinstripes? Many believe the Yankees' only chance is for them to throw sick money at the left-hander, who is likely to eclipse the $137.5 million deal the Mets dropped on Johan Santana last winter. Showing him their new digs can't hurt.
Stand behind home plate and you see the same dimensions as the old place. Two sets of bleachers in right-center and left-center bracket a monster video screen and scoreboards. Monument Park has been moved from left-center to center field. And to give the Bleacher Creatures a feel of the old Stadium, a space in right field has been left open so the subway can be seen.
Three-quarters of the seats - all blue, but different sizes - have been installed.
The Yankees missed the playoffs for the first time since 1993, but the new building has created a buzz.
"It's been phenomenal," said Chief Operating Officer Lonn Trost, whose fingerprints are all over the building. "You learn things you never thought you would."
Of course, the contrarians will insist the old place was better. But looking at what replaced the old park, it's hard to believe it took this long to link 1923 with the present and future.

Joba jawed with Red Sox fan at nudie bar before he got busted
Maisel/News
Joba Chamberlain and pals spent a boozy Friday night gazing at dancers at this strip club before his DUI bust.
Yankees star Joba Chamberlain downed vodka-and-sodas and caroused at a Nebraska strip club in the hours before he was busted for drunken driving, the Daily News has learned.
The 23-year-old pitcher went drinking at a bar in downtown Lincoln and then capped off his Friday night at a local jiggle joint, where he got into a tiff with another customer over the rival Red Sox, witnesses said.
Chamberlain - who had a blood-alcohol level more than 1-1/2 times Nebraska's legal limit when he was nabbed - was heckled as he and friends watched the dancers at the Night Before Lounge, witnesses said.
"Some guy yelled out, 'If you played for the Red Sox, you wouldn't be sitting here,'" clubgoer Gary (Bo) Bohaty said.
