Buehrle Off the Market, But Others Remain

With Buehrle now signed-and-sealed at an extremely team-friendly rate, Chicago could look to deal one of their other starters, such as Jose Contreras, Jon Garland, or Javier Vazquez. Contreras has been horrendous this season, however found success previously with a change of scenery and could welcome a reunion with fellow Cuban-defector Orlando Hernandez. Vazquez is probably a more appealing option - for the Mets at least - as the pitcher has been one of the best pitchers in baseball over the last month, and was a favorite of Minaya's during his tenure as GM of the Monteral Expos.
