There's also a rumor involving Philly and Randy Wolf. But I doubt Arizona would trade Vazquez until the trade deadline unless they got a great deal.
Whatever happens, it should be interesting.

I think the real mystery right now is the team budget.
Most people expected the Diamondbacks to cut payroll in order to reduce the cummulated deficit, but now it seems that they are using the newly raised money to keep spending instead of payind debts. I think trading Vazquez for some cheaper but still good pitcher would make sense, and they should try to get as much cash as possible from the Dodgers if they are seriously considering Green.
