Reports have just hit the wire that the Yankees have traded Armando Benitez, who they had just acquired from the New York Mets before the July 31 trade deadline, to the Seattle Mariners for pitcher Jeff Nelson.
Of course, Nelson was just recently in the news for ripping Seattle GM Pat Gillick for not making any moves before the trading deadline. Guess Jeff needed to be more careful what he wished for.

Great minds think alike
