"The deal, which is pending a physical, will give Florida the quality veteran starting pitcher it desired this offseason. Vazquez, 34, has pitched more than 200 innings nine times in his career, evidencing a durability the Marlins were after.
"Vazquez is plenty familiar with the National League East, where he nearly won a Cy Young Award with Atlanta in 2009. His '10 season with the Yankees, however, wasn't nearly as smooth -- he compiled a 10-10 record with a 5.32 ERA."
Congratulations, Javy.
