Welcome Millwood, so long Sergio

The Mitre era in pinstripes is over. Today the Yankees have sent Sergio to the Brewers, this comes after they signed Kevin Millwood to a minor league deal plus incentives.

The deal with Millwood is a fair one, its a minor league deal similar to Freddy Garcia's deal. So if Millwood makes the team he should make around $1.5 million, and upwards to $3 million in incentives. Its a good deal, since Millwood won't start the season with the team, so the Yanks can see what Ivan Nova,Bartolo Colon and Garcia have to offer first. Millwood last season was 4-16 for the Orioles, but at times had pitched better then his record indicates.

Now on to sad news, Sergio "Meat-tray" was traded to the Brewers, at this time it is unsure what the bombers will get back. But all I can say is what ever they traded him for was not enough, Mitre was a favorite of mine (and Joe Girardi's). I wish Sergio the best, and maybe the Yankees got back old pal Wil Nieves (lets hope not)
