Yankees get Mondesi
I understand it's not as quite as simple as "The Yankees are a big market team, and the Pirates are a small market team" One has good management, and the other, until recently was managed by man playing liar's poker with himself and losing. But I think this pretty much sums up the situation:

As the trading deadline approaches, different teams are looking for different things:
The Pirates: anyone who can hit.
The Yankees: the Sudetenland, because they heard it was a calming clubhouse presence.

In other news, am I the only one looking at the ads for Crocodile Hunter: Collision Course, going "Wait a second, they stuck a plot in this thing?"
