ESPN reports that the Yankees have acquired Ivan Rodriguez from the Tigers for Kyle Farnsworth.
It's incredible that the Tigers would give up their catcher for such an inconsistent reliever and, in the process, help a team they might have to face in October. They'll go to Brandon Inge behind the plate now, and they'll be completely ruined in the event of an injury to him. Perhaps they'll trade for Gregg Zaun or another veteran backup. Rodriguez supplants Jose Molina on the Yankees. Chad Moeller could be let go.
Good trade for the Yankees. Farnsworth is inconsistant and they needed Catching help.
