[Valid]

WASHINGTON -- The Nationals are no longer in the running to acquire the services of right-hander Javier Vazquez, according to a baseball source, because he is close to agreeing to terms with the Marlins.

Wonder if it's a one-year deal.

Yay.

What's the general public's reaction to this?

[Valid]

Johnson
Sanchez
Nolasco (assuming he stays put)
Vazquez
Volstad

That's a hell of a rotation. I mean, even Volstad is a good fifth starter.

[MiamiHomer]

We lack the south paw but it's nice.

[Swifty]

This is exciting.

I had a dream we traded for Justin Upton. I asked Beinfest, did you trade Cogz and Nolasco? He said yes, and I told him in his face "YOU'RE THE FUCKING MAN!"

Hopefully this is our next move, even though I like the team how it is right now. I am looking forward to Dec.6-9th, the Fish and Red Sox seem to be the top suitors for Upton, and i'm excited.

I wonder what Javy's contract will look like. Maybe 1/8, which can become 1/10 with bonus'.

[Fish and Chips]

Really liking this offseason. Just the fact, that they are active in the FA market is exciting, giving that the past years the biggest FA signing is Luis Gonzalez.

Hopefully, this new philosphy of spending will carry over to the draft, cause I keep on reading that this is the most deepest class in a while.

One year? Excellent.

sweeeet

[Fish and Chips]

hopefully Garland's contract with the Dodgers will lower Javy's price tag

[Swifty]

I hope we put some kind of option in there, but not having to give him 3 years is awesome.

[Ramp]

I am ver excite

So, to recap the off-season so far:

IN:
Javier Vazquez
John Buck
Edward Mujica
Ryan Webb
Omar Infante
Mike Dunn
Dustin Richardson

OUT:
Dan Uggla
Cameron Maybin
Andrew Miller

I'd give the FO an A- so far. The poor return for Uggla is the only thing keeping me from giving them a full A, but that wasn't even really their fault because they had no leverage.
