Brewers Trying To Deal For Vazquez

The Brewers heard Ryan Braun's plea for help and they have responded. They're attempting to deal for Javier Vazquez, according to ESPN.com's Jerry Crasnick. However, Atlanta likely won't part with Vazquez in a deal that doesn't bring back Mat Gamel or Alcides Escobar, a pair of youngsters Brewers GM Doug Melvin has repeatedly deemed untouchable. Buster Olney said this weekend that the Brewers wouldn't be able to acquire Vazquez for Corey Hart alone.The Brewers need pitching and the Braves have rotation depth, as Tim Hudson's expected to return next month. Vazquez makes $11.5MM this year and next and he can't be traded to any Western division team without his permission.
