Ryan Howard dealt to Yankees!

1 Game before the All Star break, and we have a massive deal that shakes the AL East. Toronto sends 1B Ryan Howard, LF Ben Francisco, and an A Prospect SS to New York for 1B Mark Teixiera. The Yankees cannot keep up with Toronto and Boston and liked the fact of getting a nice power 1B along with young Ben Francisco and a prospect for their farm. Toronto wasn't getting the power out of Howard they needed from that 4 hole, and he was committing a lot of errors at 1st. They get a better hitter against righties and lefties, plus a better fielder and should be ready to bring home a title.

- Note: The team reported they would be making no more moves the rest of the season, unless it was some minor tweaking.
