Re: Baseball musical chairs? Benitez to Mariners for Nelson.
The Yankees must have felt Benitez, after closing for so long with the Mets, was uncomfortable as a set-up man. Nelson, of course, if used to that role, and is particularly tough on righties.
Nelson will now have played twice for both the Yankees and Mariners.
Both the Yankees and Mariners will have their hands full the rest of the way against two tought teams on their tails.
