Hmmm a 36 year old making over $11mil a year going to the Yankees??
Strange.
The Deal: In need of a starting catcher since Jorge Posada decided to undergo season-ending surgery on his throwing shoulder, the Yankees pick up a 13-time Gold Glover and 14-time All-Star to work behind the plate the rest of the season. The Yankees' setup job had been increasingly filled by Jose Veras, and the addition of Damaso Marte gave them two pitchers to fill the role, making Farnsworth expendable. The right-hander, who was with the Tigers in 2005, will join a beleaguered Detroit bullpen.
