BREAKING NEWS!!!!: Yankees Trade Jesus for Michael Pineda

ESPN has it already, so it sounds legit.

The Yankees have traded Jesus Montero and Hector Noesi to the Mariners for Michael Pineda and Jose Campos.  Details to follow...

** UPDATE- 7:51PM- From looking around the interweb, this seems about as real as it gets.  Once again, the Yankees come out of nowhere to make a major move.  From what I'm gathering on Campos, he's one of the better prospects in the Mariners' system.  And he's only 19 years old. **

** UPDATE- 7:58PM- Jack Curry is reporting that the Yankees have signed Hiroki Kuroda to a 1-year, $10 million deal.  The lion has struck from the tall grass...

** UPDATE- 8:44PM- Pineda in 2011: 171 IP, 9.11 K/9, 3.74 ERA/3.42 FIP.  22 years old; under team control for 5 years.  Campos rated #5 prospect in Mariners' system by Baseball Prospectus.  K'd 85 and only walked 13 in 81.1 IP of A-ball in 2011. **
