  1. Escobar has 5 MLB IP since '07, yet #Mets are going to give him major league deal to try become set-up man to fellow Vz. K-Rod
  2. I can confirm other reports that the #Mets are on the brink of signing Kelvim Escobar to a one-year, major league contract
  3. 3UP http://bit.ly/4D04ft Reed Johnson interests #Yankees, Bay and #Mets, and Happy, healthy holidays/new year to all
  4. Ozzie Guillen questioned Vazquez's fortitude. But if #Yankees want to be optimistic, Guillen also chased Swisher out of town
  5. Check out 10 thoughts on Vazquez trade http://bit.ly/4vsTrN that details #Yankees thought process, darkhorse prospects, LF options
  6. Boone Logan 1 rare players with a 4th option, so while he is arb eligible, he will have to win job in in #Yankees spring to make team
  7. 1 subtle reason #Yankees r encouraged Vazquez isn't afraid to return was didn't put Yanks on no-trade list. Mostly West Coast teams
  8. #Yankees did check in on #Cubs Zambrano and #Reds Harang, but combo of $$ owed and health concerns pushed them toward Vazquez
  9. #Yankees project Vazquez as Type-A fr agt next winter so can offer arb and - if rejected - get 2 high picks to begin replenish system
  10. Latest version of trade story http://bit.ly/4IW4xW is up
  11. With Vazquez, #Yankees will try to save some $$ by trading Gaudin or Mitre to team seeking backend help before spring training ends
  12. #Yanks felt could spend on SP or LF, and would rather be vulnerable in LF than rotation, so money on Vazquez not on LF
  13. #Yankees insisting still that they will be under $200M payroll, which means bargain bin for LF if they hold firm
  14. Just got confirmed that deal is done
  15. #Yankees figured Melky's arb was going to be $3M-$3.5M, so they see Vazquez as more $8-$8.5M starter than $11.5M
  16. #Yankees say Melky departure does not open door to Damon nor put Bay/Holliday in play. Still saying all too expensive
  17. so the trade is vazquez and boone logan to #Yankees for melky cabrera, mike dunn and arodys vizcaino, that is now confirmed by Post
  18. I am hearing #Braves also are getting RHP Arodys Vizcaino, who impressed at short season Staten Island
  19. And for what worth, by end postseason, more #Yankee execs than in past were seeing Joba as a reliever and heir to Mo
  20. Key element with Vazquez II: Yanks want Hughes or Joba in rotation, not both, and can bulk up pen with other without spending more $$$
