Well, it’s finally done. Six months after trading Phillipe Aumont, J.C. Ramirez and Tyson Gillies, the Mariners finally know what they got in return.

With the best ace in baseball in his hand, Seattle GM Jackie Z played his cards as well as he could. After using the Yankees to up the ante, he basically had his choice of two of the best power-hitting prospects in baseball,  and he ended up with what he and the Mariners hope will be the first bona fide power hitter they have had since Richie Sexson blasted 30-40 homers a couple of times for them.

Maybe the best thing about the deal that sent Cliff Lee and Mark Lowe to Texas for Justin Smoak and three minor-leaguers was the fact that JZ apparently ticked off some Yankee execs who thought they had a deal with the Mariners.

“The Yankees do not do business that way,” an unidentified Yankee official whined about JZ backing out of a tentative deal that would have brought the Yankees’ best prospect, Jesus Montero.

Another Yank reportedly called the Mariners unethical. Wow. That’s laughable. And completely hypocritical coming from a franchise that tries to buy a championship every year. The Yankees’ entire approach is unethical.

The Yankees are so used to getting whatever they want, they find it shocking when someone plays them to get the best deal. What a bunch of sore losers. That’s how the game is played. And JZ played the Yankees perfectly.

Any time you can punk the Pinstripers, it’s a great day.

Of course, the Mariners have to hope the boys they got by shipping Lee to Texas are better than the guys they could have gotten from the Yankees.

Basically, it boils down to this: Smoak, the switch-hitting slugger Seattle got from Texas, needs to out-blast Montero.

And Smoak and the other boys from Texas (pitchers Blake Beaven and Josh Lueke and infielder Matt Lawson) need to perform better over the years than Aumont, Ramirez and Gillies, whom the Mariners shipped to Philadelphia for Lee in December.

The money here is on Lueke not being long for Seattle. The guy reportedly pulled a Ben Roethlisberger last year, so JZ had better be planning to ship him off in another deal. No call to have those kinds of chumps on Seattle sports teams.

Speaking of other deals, you can bet JZ isn’t done. He’s still got three weeks to wheel and deal before the deadline, and it seems a sure bet that Jose Lopez won’t be around in August.
