With the non-waiver trading deadline coming on Thursday, the trades have started this weekend around the MLB:

YANKS GET NADY, MARTE - New York Times
"The Yankees wasted no time acting after Thursday’s organizational meeting in Tampa, Fla. They agreed to a six-player trade with the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday, acquiring outfielder Xavier Nady and the left-handed reliever Dámaso Marte for four minor leaguers. The Yankees will send the Class AAA starter Ross Ohlendorf, the Class AA outfielder José Tábata and the Class AA starters Phil Coke and George Kontos to Pittsburgh. The deal was pending approval of medical information. General Manager Brian Cashman would not confirm the agreement, but the Pirates said there was a deal in place and the Yankees’ players were encouraged."

"The Indians made it official on Saturday: It's Andy Marte and Ryan Garko time. They are the immediate beneficiaries of the trade that sent Casey Blake to the Los Angeles Dodgers for 22-year-old catcher Carlos Santana and 24-year-old right-hander Jon Meloan. 'This is a situation we didn't want to be in, but we want to take advantage of our opportunities,' General Manager Mark Shapiro said of the team's unexpected withdrawal from the Central Division race. Blake, who is batting .289 with 11 homers and 58 RBI, will be the Dodgers' everyday third baseman.

There's nothing more to add to this post. The title says it all. We should've traded this little puke for whatever we could get for him when we had the chance. This guy is a head case. I trust Baseball Prospectus as they were high on his talent. No questioning that. I'm questioning what's under his cap.
