Yankees confirm.

Good haul for us here for Suzuki, who isn't part of our long term plans. Kelly has really good future upside, and Maness has been doing well this year. We like Maness's ability to control the strike zone and see him as a future innings eater for us. Ehrlich will add catching depth to the organization.

Cardinals to confirm.

Ichiro to my 25 Man

I accept this trade as Holliday just hit the DL, and I have a glaring need for OF depth. The toughest spect to give up is Kelly as he has a high upside. Maness is solid, and Ehrlich was really just a flier. I needed Ichiro, and I feel this deal will help me this year and next.
