MONTERO FOR PINEDA? NOT SO FAST

Just so everyone is aware, there's an update in the Jesus Montero for Michael Pineda trade that you should know about. Jon Morosi of Fox Sports says HERE that Montero is having trouble getting out of Venezuela to have his physical to finalize this deal between the Mariners and the Yankees.

According to Morosi:

"Montero, 22, has been waiting for a passport or visa issue to be resolved, the source said. And now Seattle — where Montero’s physical will take place — is dealing with the aftermath of an ice storm that has prompted Washington Governor Christine Gregoire to declare a state of emergency. So even if Montero had clearance to travel, it would be difficult for him to do so."

Bottom line, this trade is not official yet. Hmm... maybe Steinbrenner had God's ear up there...

Please comment, we have DISQUS, it's easier than ever. Let me know what you think and follow me on Twitter @BleednYankeeBlu and join the group Bleeding Yankee Blue on Facebook, just type it in.
