Per Twitter accounts and reports, it looks like Pittsburgh will pick up $13 million of the A.J. deal. The Yanks will pick up $20 million. It still needs to go to Selig today or tomorrow, with A.J. taking his physical for Pittsburgh on Sunday. Joel Sherman reports that one of the two players the Yanks will get is RHP Diego Moreno (25), who was 2-4, 3.63, 5 saves between A+ and AA last year and who has a minor league record of 11-9, 2.41, and 15 saves. It looks like Moreno would then go to Tampa (A+) or Trenton (AA).
Update: The 2nd prospect is 20 year old Exicardo Cayones, a lefty-hitting OF who hit .228-0-12 in 38 games for Rookie ball and A- ball (A- ball in State College, PA). In 149 minor league games, Cayones has hit .272-1-68. Like what was mentioned, both aren’t major prospects.
Any warm bodies will be fine for me!
