Rosenthal: White Sox deal Vasquez to Braves

Ken Rosenthal says Javy Vasquez is on his way to Atlanta. The Sox are doing a good job of moving contracts and replenishing the farm system.

The White Sox will send Vazquez and left-handed reliever Boone Logan to the Braves for four players — infielder Brent Lillibridge, Class A catcher Tyler Flowers and two low minor leaguers.

The deal is contingent on the players involved passing physicals; Vazquez will take his physical in Atlanta on Wednesday. An official announcement could come Wednesday or Thursday, sources said.

The deal fulfills the Braves’ desire to add front-line starting pitching while continuing the White Sox’s quest to get younger and more athletic while reducing their payroll

For the White Sox, the trade of Vazquez will mark their second major move of the offseason. They earlier sent first baseman/outfielder Nick Swisher and a minor league pitcher to the Yankees for infielder Wilson Betemit and two minor-league pitchers, and continue to discuss trades for outfielder Jermaine Dye.
