Re: Montero Traded from Yankees
Terrible move by the Yankees and let me give you my opinion why. Montero yes is work in progress behind the plate but he could be a All Star DH/C for the next 10+ years. The Yankees have aging vets who seem to run out of gas when the post season comes around. When is it ever going to be a good time to inject some youth into this old lineup? Montero was home grown and seemed ready to do big things for the yankees this year.
Russell Martin a AS catcher?? Come on. He had a great April and decent may and then he was below average the rest of the year and was TERRIBLE in the playoffs. He is great behind the plate but his offense is poop. Romine??? A decent backup and all this talk about Gary Sanchez?? He's at least 4 years away.
Pineda showed some promise at the beginning of the year but had a horrible 2nd half. Look at his home and away splits, not too good. Will he get better? Can he pitch in NY? Hopefully. But people really seem to be forgetting about the 2 big guns in AAA, Betances and Banuelos. Those guys should be ready to go mid season. I know you can never have too much pitching but.........
Carlos Pena?? We do NOT need another .210 hitter floating around the lineup.
I am and will continue to collect and follow Montero and I know him and his family and this move without a doubt will crush him but he needs to move on and do his thing with the M's.
One good things comes out of this....i'll be picking up all his stuff for dirt cheap prices all year long.5TOOLPLAYER@COMCAST.NET

Re: Montero Traded from Yankees
Yankees need pitching to win right now. Montero can develop with the Mariners for the next 5 years and if he turns into the superstar he was destined to be the Yankees will re-sign him as a free agent.
Excellent strategy.metsbats86@aol.com
Always looking for 1973,1986,1988,1999,2000,2006 game used Mets post season and Bobby M. Jones and Ed Hearn NY Mets game used bats.

Re: Montero Traded from Yankees
The M's team store is tough. They will periodically have MLB authenticated broken bats in the store of guys like Smoak, Ackley, etc., but it's kind of a first come, first serve thing. Unfortunately, they don't authenticate hit/HR balls.
Even if you tell them your wants, they likely won't return your phone calls. I have given my name, email, number, etc. to the store tens of times for Smoak stuff, but they haven't called once, even when they have stuff in.
As for jerseys, you can probably get your hands on a few. The M's sell several of their shirts on MLB.com Auctions and will also have some - "issued" and used at some point after the season is over.
Your best bet is to talk to Jeremy, MarinersFan34. He's at a lot of the games and can let you know what they get in. I just go every once in a while to a day game where I can take some pictures. Good luck!Les Zukor

Re: Montero Traded from Yankees
That scenario doesnt happen too often. The Yanks have traded away several prospects over the years and none have come back, that I can think of. Maybe its because none turned out to be stars. Jay Buhner only comes to mind, and although he was a solid player for many years, never was a star.Chris
NY Giants, NY Yankees, Don Mattingly, Mattingly brand bats (any player)
