Mariners GM Feels Bad About Pineda Injury
Aug 7, 2014 10:51 AM
Mariners general manager Jack Zduriencik said he "feels bad" for Brian Cashman and the Yankees after Michael Pineda was lost for the season because of a torn labrum.
Seattle traded the right-hander to New York in exchange for Jesus Montero this winter.
Zduriencik has maintained he never knew Pineda was damaged goods when he traded the 23-year-old.
Cashman never has accused Zduriencik of any wrongdoing during the transaction. Nothing ever showed up on any medical records to suggest otherwise.
"I feel bad for Brian, and I feel very bad for the Yankees," Zduriencik said. "I wish this thing would've been a little different. But again, the fact that (Pineda)'s so young and he's strong, he should bounce back from this."
