Well, at the end of the season, Pudge will be looking for a new team. The damn Yankees will not keep him if he is not producing! And so far he isn't.

Yah I guess so

But at least Farnsworth gives me someone to blame for Pudge not being here.

Pudge won't be back with the Tigers


Not with


Inge Rules

Go Brandon!

I don't like Inge.

I dont see how you dont. Inge is a beast.

i really find it heard to believe pudge wanted the trade. i agree he was the face of the TIgers and a goo "captain.."not to mention a good catcher. I don't see him lasting as a Yankee and hope he goes to HOF as a Tiger.

I was at my grandparents earlier and my grandpa was saying how Pudge demanded to be traded and he really did not want to be here any more....

You saw him in the dugout recently! He just did not look happy!

Mailbag: Is Pudge here for long?
Beat reporter Bryan Hoch answers Yankees fans' questions
By Bryan Hoch / MLB.com

Pudge Rodriguez is a great addition for this season, but what does this mean for Jorge Posada's future with the Yankees? Will the Yankees try to keep both catchers or will Pudge be moving on after 2008? Would the Yankees keep Pudge over Posada?
-- Jennifer H., New York, N.Y.

At the time of the trade, Brian Cashman was very careful to note that trading for Rodriguez was a move for the rest of this season, and not something that should be construed as a change for the future. Rodriguez and Kyle Farnsworth can both be free agents after this season, so in terms of commitments, the move made sense.

Posada will have three years remaining on his contract when he eventually returns from surgery on his right shoulder, and the Yankees would not have signed him to that type of deal if they didn't envision him catching going forward. There's plenty of debate if Posada will really be catching games for the Yankees in 2011 or, by then, have had an inevitable position switch.

As far as how this affects Rodriguez, it's probably easiest to think of his time in pinstripes as a two-month rental, since that is all that can be assured at this point. Certainly, it's possible that it could go longer than that, but Jose Molina is also under contract for next season and is widely regarded as one of the better backup catchers in the big leagues.

The trade was more about immediately upgrading the Yankees for August and September; they liked Chad Moeller plenty, but it isn't often you're able to add a future Hall of Fame catcher and a 14-time All-Star to your lineup with a little more than 50 games to go in the season.

Interestingly, Cashman had noted that Rodriguez was swirling around the trade market earlier in the year as well, but the Yankees did not pull the trigger then because they still held out hope that Posada's shoulder would be strong enough to catch the rest of the season. Instead, Posada is looking at a six-month minimum recovery time from the surgical procedure and Rodriguez gets two months in New York to live out what he called "a dream" of catching for the Yankees.

So even the Yanks only want Pudge short term!

great. Another smart trade.

Yankess suck.... Thats all I have to say.
