So the Buccos trade Xavier Nady and Damaso Marte to the NY Yankees. They receive in return outfielder Jose Tabata, and three right handed pitchers Dan McCutchen, Jeff Karstens, and Ross Ohlendorf. This trade has a 15-20% chance of being successful. Jose Tabata was the marquee piece of the deal, but is only in "AA". Plus he projects as a center fielder, the one area where the Pirates seem set. The three pitchers don't seem to have much upside, and might all be better suited for a bullpen role. Ross Ohlendorf did pitch 40 innings of relief this season.
Marte had 1.16 WHIP, and certainly was one of the top 3 available relief pitchers. Nady's stats this season have him at the top of the list of outfielders. Only time will tell, if this trade will end up being set forward or backwards.
