HBT: Pineda-Montero trade held up by issues

The Yankees and Mariners agreed last Friday to a trade sending catcher Jesus Montero and right-hander Hector Noesi to Seattle for right-handers Michael Pineda and Jose Campos. But that deal has not been completely finalized, and might not be made officially?official?for another couple days.

According to FOX Sports? Jon Paul Morosi, Montero is waiting for a visa issue to be resolved in his native Venezuela and hasn?t be able to travel to the United States to take his required physical with the Mariners. On top of that, an ice storm blew threw Seattle on Thursday, cancelling most flights.

Both teams will have to remain patient as Montero?s travel issues are cleared up and the airport conditions in the Great Northwest improve. We?d expect a resolution and official announcement by early next week.
