He then signed Ichiro for a lot less than Swisher would have been making. Ichiro will play right field with Gardner moving to center.
Hannon also is offering either Phil Hughes and or Ivan Nova in a package for Justin Upton.
And if Upton can't be had, Josh Hamilton can be an option and the team could be within their budget becaus eof the cost saving transaction.
As John Sterling says - THE Y-A-N-K-E-E-S WIN

I like all of it except the Phil Hughes move. He's inconsistent but experienced. This may be his year to finally crack the barrier and become a reliable starter. I love all the other moves. Anything was an upgrade over obnoxious Swisher! You are hired Tom! Just think, if George were still alive this would have been done by now plus Hamilton would be in center field.
