Nick Swisher is a Yankee

Not breaking anywhere yet just a good source. Should be out shortly.

The guy looks like a douche....now i have to see him almost all the time?

Seriously, I think he's a pretty good ballplayer who is one of those guys that seems to play better then their stats seem to indicate. Nice to see the Yankees go for a guy who isn't a super huge big name but can get the job done.

Sooo does this take them out of the Teixiera sweepstakes? If so...

This thread has about 0% chance of staying open.

On the off chance you're right, then it's an average move. I could hate Swisher even more than I did on the White Sox.

He's right. The Yankees acquired Nick Swisher from the White Sox for minor league pitcher Jeff Marquez. It's not yet known if other players are involved.

Wow, Seriously?

Major props to thread starter. I doubted, I was wrong.

As for the trade, um...why? The White Sox only had him one year, and he didn't play that bad. They better get some good value back.

Some one needs to tell the Yankees they need pitching not bats!

Swisher plays 1B right? If so, then the move makes perfect sense as I don't see Mr. Giambi being there in '09.

It may involve other minor leaguers according to Jon Heyman, he also mentions Betimet as possibly being involved.

Swish had a poor, poor year in Chicago. They brought him in w/ high expectations, and his bat just stunk...He still showed some pop, but only hit .219.

He does play good defense though, and can play multiple positions so he does have value. If he can return to form from his Oakland days then this would be a good move for the Yanks.
