    Yankees acquire Shawn Kelley for Abe Almonte

    The Yankees have acquired right-handed reliever Shawn Kelley from the Mariners for minor league outfielder Abe Almonte. More to come later, but quick analysis: excellent deal. Kelley’s a hard-throwing and capable reliever while Almonte was a spare part in a crowded outfield picture. The Yankees will need to clear a 40-man roster spot, but they should be able to stick someone on the 60-day DL by now.

    Unless you're Axisa, give credit to him for his work.

    Kelley has a minor league option left, so he'll give the Yankees some flexibility and could be the yo-yo guy.

    Shawn Kelley could be Boone Logan's right-handed twin: Almost 100 points better in his OBP vs. RHed hitters

    Simply add "via RAB." Or anything. Just so it doesn't look like you're stealing someone else's stuff. No big deal.

    Logan's splits actually indicate he's better against RHed hitters.

    From what I read, this trade is a big win for us.

    Abe Almonte had very little purpose for us. So if we get a viable reliever for him, good.

    I'm about to send my tux to the cleaners for the parade

    You can never have enough relievers so I like the deal.
