All the top guys (Rosenthal, Sherman, et al.) are tweeting that the Yankees are close to getting Javier Vazquez from the Braves for Melky Cabrera and others. Vazquez is a solid vet with a track record for throwing lots of innings and keeping his teams in ball games. This would be a great catch for the Yanks to save their bull pen and secure the strongest 1-4 starters in the league. Also, this allows them to keep one or both of Chamberlain/Hughes in the pen.
The problem for the Mets with this deal is it frees up cash for the Braves to get the big stick they need. Is this why Bay and Holliday are waiting? Sure, the Braves represent another team to bid, and force the Mets to decide whether they are going to pony or or wave goodbye to them. Not good.
Yankees got VazQuez while we are in the works of signing 35 yr old Minor League Pitcher RA Dickey. Seriously Yankees win the World Series and there still making there team better we sign old men who won't accomplish anything this team is becoming a joke I just wonder are we in a race to try to win the NL East or are we trying to beat the Nats and finish dead last
