As a Montero collector (which I'm not), I think you'd be upset as the Yankees "mystique" just left and with that some extra money invested. My question though, is Montero a contracted player with Steiner or just through the Yankees? And what's the financial impact on acquiring GU items now through the Mariners as opposed to Steiner if in fact that's how it'll become?

As a baseball fan, with the way pitching has become of late, I think the Yankees get a quality "live" arm that otherwise would cost them big on the market. And they are built a little more to win now than Seattle. From the Mariners aspect, they get a very talented hitter who very well could be the next Edgar Martinez or better and has a chance to get more ABs. I think it's a win-win at the moment, with the exception of those who are player collectors.
