This trade has been rumored for the last 3 days but I haven't heard that it's a done deal either. Taking on part of Kendall's contract was the sticking point.
Maine has a good swing for a pitcher but on anything that moves, he has no chance. And if it's a fastball, it has to be up in the zone. Basically, the pitcher has to hit his bat. - Mike Pelfrey
It was around 11:20 AM or so...Bucs will be taking on some of Kendall's contract.

This doesn't make sense. If Pittsburgh wouldn't take Wiggington straight up for Benson...how does throwing in Phillips and a Minor Leaguer >= Kendall. Obviously, if NY has to pay most of Kendall's contract, then it would make sense...but otherwise this is a terrible trade for Pittsburgh.
