As someone in Minnesota that is also a Red Sox fans, this deal is terrible. Yes Youk has declined, but to get another Nick Punto, and a AAA pitcher at best in Stewart, plus eating all but 2Mil of Youk's remaining salary is terrible. I didn't expect to get anything spectacular, but was hoping for something atleast serviceable.
Thank you for your time Youk, you will be missed. You were class act that busted your ass each and every time you took the field.
On a bright side for me, as someone that lives in Minnesota, i'll get to see Youk a lot more since the Twins play the White Sux quite a bit.
