[...] The trade deadline came and went, with the Yanks picking up utility man Jerry Hairston Jr. and minor league pitcher Jason Hirsh in separate deals. The Yanks were reportedly interested Bronson Arroyo but thankfully nothing came of it. They also made a run at Jarrod Washburn, but the price was too high. Brian Cashman & Co. will still be on the lookout for pitching in August, but the pickin’s might be slim. [...]

Yankees, Reds Working On Arroyo Deal

“It will get done,” one source said.

Arroyo, 32, is due nearly $4 million for the rest of this season, plus $11 million in 2010 and a $2 million buyout or a $11 million option in 2012. Arroyo is 10-9 with a 5.21 ERA, but he has a 2.08 ERA in his past three starts.

Reds top officials met via conference call this morning, an indication to one big-league source that they were “close to a deal.” Arroyo has since been removed as the Reds probable pitcher for Tuesday.

Oh, come now TSJC! That was pretty good.

How bad would it suck for him if teams shied away because of dookie trouble?

I selfishly want Duke to come to NY not only becuase he’s the best value, but because he’d be so easy to root for. Can you imagine a problem like that? In a profession like his? Just awful! I’d be friggin’ ecstatic if he was successful.

What does he cost? If it’s anything of any substance, no.
