The Pirates and Yankees have talked about a trade that would bring lefty reliever Damaso Marte to the Yankees for outfielder Kevin Thompson. If Thompson is dealt, Bernie Williams could return as the fifth outfielder. Marte, 32 in February, is owed $4.7 million for 2007 and 2008. He could be protection against the Yankees losing Ron Villone and not signing Scott Schoeneweis.

Yes, the best way to become a Yankee is to leave the organization.
Not a bad idea, though. it makes room for Bernie, Melky doesn't have to be traded, the Yankees get a lefty for the pen, and if anything happens, there is still Kevin Reese. All in all, not bad.
