Yanks Acquire Pudge Rodriguez, Give Up Farnsworth

Brian Cashman had just replaced his injured catcher with a likely Hall of Famer and got him for a player who has heard more boos at Yankee Stadium than anyone without a "B" on his cap.

yankees really needed a catcher who could hit arounf 275 and in pudge they got that..plus enthusiasm..pudge will liven things up..no steal though..farnsworth may come back to haunt them as he was pitching very wee..careful he is not in beantown next spring.....john garofalo palm city fl

sox fans were booing manny last night...i think every team boos a player who underperforms as farnsworth did last year. This year he wasnt hearing those boos

Adios to one of my least favorite Yanks of all time. I literally turned off the tv every time Farnsworthless came into the game.

Good riddance!

Pudge will always be a tiger in my heart. He will do a wonderful job for the Yankees. I hope they embrace him the way the fans did here. Pudge I will always love you and wish you the best.
