With a surplus of quality starting pitching, the Braves have the flexibility to explore deals that can help them upgrade in other areas.
Apparently, they are willing to trade off a starter to add an experienced outfielder with a World Series Championship under his belt.
According to the New York Daily News, the Braves are finalizing a deal that will send right-hander Javier Vazquez and left-hander Boone Logan to the Yankees for Melky Cabrera, lefty Mike Dunn and a Minor Leaguer.
The New York Post reports the Minor Leaguer is right-hander Arodys Vizcaino.
The Braves have not officially announced the deal.
If it is finalized, the Braves would be parting with one of the anchors to their rotation. The 33-year-old Vazquez was 15-10 with a 2.87 ERA in 32 starts for Atlanta last year.
Starting pitching anchored the Braves in 2009. Their rotation topped the National League with a 3.52 ERA.
