River Ave. Blues provides a nice review of Friday night from the Yankees point of view. He also is impressed with the silence of the front office:

I’ll close with this: it never ceases to amaze me how the Yankees — in the biggest media market in the sport — manage to pull off these deals with no leaks. Pretty much everything they do is a surprise. We heard nothing about their interest in Pineda until after the trade was made, and although we knew they liked Kuroda, we never heard they were close to a deal. The quite weeks earlier in the offseason were frustrating, but the surprise sure is fun.

Indeed. I was out for dinner with my wife last night, and commented to her about the lack of news this off season. That changed fast.
