The Mariners wanted pitching prospects Bryan Mitchell from the Yankees in exchange for the outfielder/second baseman/first baseman. Obviously the Yankees found that price to be too steep and passed and who could blame them. Ackley has only hit .240/.303/.343 over the last three seasons. Ackley does have three more seasons of team control to Prado's two and for a lot cheaper as well but Prado is definitely the better player of the two.
I wouldn't have necessarily been upset with giving up Mitchell for Ackley but it's not one of those deals I am terribly upset with either way.
