    The Yankees completed their final bit of trading deadline business Saturday by acquiring reliever Kerry Wood from the Indians in exchange for a player to be named later or cash.

    According to a source familiar with the talks between the two teams, the Yankees will pick up approximately half of the $3.6 million owed Wood, who is making $10.5 million this season.

    This means the cost of all three players the Yankees acquired at the deadline - Wood, Lance Berkman and Austin Kearns - required an outlay of approximately $5 million on their part.

    Holy crap! Someone took him!

    Remaining Indians making more than $1 million who aren't on the DL: 2, Fausto Carmona and Travis Hafner.

    Not sure why the heck Shapiro ever signed him to that deal to be honest.
