Over the past 30 years or so, the Yankees and the Mariners have been intertwined a decent amount. On the field, they've battled several times in the playoffs, including in the famous 1995 ALDS and 2001 ALCS matchups.
Martinez would become a key middle order bat for the Yankees as they won four championships in five years. Besides him, the Yankees also got reliever Jeff Nelson in the deal, and he also was an important bullpen piece in those championship years.
