Yankees Rays Trade

[Former Giants GM (Andrew)]

Yankees and Rays Trade 08/22/10

Yanks trade:
OF - Brett Gardner (10:$414,000, 11:$414,000, 12:$414,000) (3 years of protection, MLB salary)
RP - Evan Meek (10:$500,000, 11:$500,000, 12:$500,000, 13:$500,000, 14:$500,000)

Rays trade:
OF - B.J. Upton (10:$11,000,000, 11:$11,000,000, 12:$11,000,000, 13:$11,000,000, 14:$11,000,000, 15:$11,000,000)
1B - Justin Smoak (P) ($500,000) (298 AB in 2010)

Best of luck to all involved. Here's hoping Meek and Gardner continue to produce and that Smoak and Upton can turn things around next season.

Upon approval of this deal, the Yankees will drop Lance Berkman to make cap room (will result in $50,800 cap remaining).

Rays to confirm. Thanks for the great negotiation.

I too hope Upton turns it around for you and that Smoak it the 1B he should be. As well as hoping Meek is a closer for years to come. I confrim.
