Yankees get Seattle hurler Pineda in exhange for catcher Montero

A person familiar with the deal tells The Associated Press the Seattle Mariners have agreed to trade right-hander Michael Pineda to the New York Yankees for catcher Jesus Montero in a deal involving two of baseball's top young talents .

This trade has to be very depressing to Felix Hernandez, he's stuck here where they don't seem to care if they win or not and now Pineda will have a chance to pitch for a championship. Just doesn't seem fair?

M's should have traded Felix last year when they could have gotten a lot in return.

The longer they hold on to him, the lower his worth.
