Waiting for the Deal

Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic looks at what the Diamondbacks might do at the winter meetings:

Byrnes said he has been in contact with about eight to 10 teams regarding Vazquez, noting that talks with some clubs were so advanced that a deal could be only a phone call or two away.

Washington and the New York Mets have surfaced most often in trade rumors.

"We're getting close to arriving at a deal that we like," Byrnes said. "We want to use that trade to set up improvements that we'd like to make with the roster."

Both the Mets and Nationals play in parks where Vazquez should flourish, as both cover one of his weaknesses, allowing home runs.

I thought when Josh Byrnes took over the team it would become easier to understand what the club was doing. For the life of me I still can't figure it out. When they were attempting to trade for Paul LoDuca I wondered what for when they have so many catcher prospects. I've been waiting since October to hear they they were looking to trade Gonzalez or Green but not a peep. Despite what seems like a dozen teams looking for an outfielder and the ones they have blocking to amazing prospects. Nowits time to trade Vazquez and they don't even seem to know what they want. Prospects a comparable pitcher? They could have a great team in a year if only they'd form a plan and stick with it.
