The source did not know what the Mets were offering in return, but it might not be much if they would take the entire $23 million owed to the right-hander for the next two seasons.

... Obviously the Mets are looking for starting pitching so it would seem to me Omar Minaya would be looking for pitchers with proven track records and or some decent upside. But with this report coming out of Chicago it seems he is seeking neither. Dave Van Dyck of the Chicago Tribune is reporting that a source at the GM meetings yesterday in Dana Point, Calif. said the Mets are interested in Chicago White Sox hurler Javier Vazqez. ...

... shouldn't be considered a solution (but if it costs a Boone Logan, what the hell), and defensively speaking, Atkins makes Josh Fields look like the offspring of Brooks Robinson and Joe Crede, if 1) they were able to mate and 2) only passed on dominant genes. (Ringolsby also says the Sox don't consider Josh Fields an option at third, which is interesting to note, as it doesn't jive with Kenny Williams' statement a couple days ago.) Meanwhile, the Trib's Dave Van Dyck reports that the Mets have interest in Javier Vazquez , which makes some sense. But the way the rumor is ...

Rumor Rundown: Pitching, Pitching, Pitching

... Javier Vazquez has piqued the Mets interest. Vazquez, who is owed $23 million over the next two years by the Chicago White Sox, will not be too expensive, as long as the Mets are willing to pay. From the Chicago Tribune: Vazquez, who has a no-trade clause to West Coast teams, was fourth in the American League in strikeouts, but his only winning season in the last four was 2007, when he finished 15-8. He also had winning records in Montreal in the early 2000s when current Mets GM Omar Minaya worked there.I don't like this, but the Mets do ...

... , according to a report in the Chicago Tribune . "The source did not know what the Mets were offering in return," the article said. "But it might not be much if they would take the entire $23 million owed to the right-hander for the next two seasons." Vazquez, now 32, was GM Omar Minaya's ace back in Montreal. Javier went 12-16 last season with a 4.67 ERA. He went 15-8 in 2007, his only winning season in the last four years. My $0.02: Look, I'm not doing handstands over Javier Vazquez, but for two years and a modest trade return, he's probably a safer bet than inconsistent ...

Interest in Vazquez makes sense
ESPN Feed: neyer rob —
An interesting bit of news from the GM meetings ... Here's a question: Which teams wouldn't have interest in Javier Vazquez? Yes, it's true that Vazquez pitched poorly at the end of the season. It's also true that a lot depends on how you define "end of the season." But in his previous nine starts -- all of them coming with the White Sox locked in a death match with the Twins -- Vazquez went 5-4 with a 2.79 ERA, giving up only two home runs (both in the same game). Granted, three of Vazquez's better games were against the Royals (twice) and the Athletics, two teams ...

Two teams who are looking to make some changes this winter are the White Sox and Mets, and it looks like the two squads could be trade partners pretty soon. White Sox general manager Kenny Williams made it clear yesterday that both Javier Vazquez and Nick Swisher are on the block, and with the Mets looking to add another starter or two to their rotation, they're taking an interest in Vazquez.

What They Need: Chicago White Sox - Speed, infielder, youth

... looks like it’ll be Josh Fields’ job to lose at the hot corner, and in that scenario, the White Sox would be looking at an infield of Fields-Ramirez-Betemit-Paul Konerko. Somehow, it just doesn’t look like an infield of Williams’ design without another veteran in the mix, so Rosenthal might prove a little prophetic here. And then there are the starters. Javier Vazquez has finally proven (was this ever a question?) that he can’t pitch in big-game situations, so the Sox may trade him ( to the Mets, maybe ?); Jose Contreras is coming off Achilles heel surgery, and given his ...
