Melky Cabrera
On December 22, 2009 the New York Yankees re-acquired Vázquez, this time from the Braves with LHP Boone Logan, in exchange for OF Melky Cabrera, LHP Mike Dunn and pitching prospect Arodys Vizcaíno. At this time he was thought of as "one of the top starters in all of baseball" after what was thought of as being one of the best if not the best statistical seasons by a pitcher in 2009.
