The New York Yankees relied on the right arm of Luis Vizcaino as their bridge to Mariano Rivera in 2007.

The Yankees acquired him in the deal that also brought along Randy Johnson for a short amount of time. Then they sent Vizcaino on his way and chose not to re-sign him when his contract expired.

Vizcaino's road in the Major Leagues was crazy afterwards. He signed with the Colorado Rockies only to be traded early on to the Chicago Cubs, who would release him in the same season.

The Washington Nationals have agreed to terms with former Cardinals Starting Pitcher and OF Rick Ankiel, reports Sports Illustrated's John Heyman.  The deal is worth $1.25 million dollars for one year.  He can earn another $1.25MM in performance bonuses.

With Zack Greinke going to the Brewers, it now looks like the National League is now the pitching power of the majors. The American League took a hit when Cliff Lee went to the Phillies and now Greinke is a Brewer, there's no telling whether or not Carl Pavano is going to the National League as well.

With that in mind, it's only fitting to rank the Top 10 best pitchers of the National League. Which I'm sure will include Greinke.

The Yankees have been doing a lot of waiting this offseason. They waited for Cliff Lee to choose his team. They waited for Derek Jeter to accept their offer. Then they stayed put a while too long and lost out on Zach Greinke. Now they await a decision from Andy Pettitte as to whether or not he will pitch in 2011. 

Zack Greinke, Milwaukee Brewers and Sunday's Latest MLB News.

Zack Greinke became the newest member of the Milwaukee Brewers today when he was traded from Kansas City.

This move is sure to lead to more moves this offseason by teams that are trying to get better. The Yankees and Rangers were both mentioned as possible landing places for Greinke after both franchises whiffed on Cliff Lee.

Once it was announced that Cliff Lee was signing with the Philadelphia Phillies, Zack Greinke began to receive the most attention among pitchers, with various teams attempting to acquire the 2009 Cy Young winner.

The Kansas City Royals agreed to trade starting pitcher Zack Greinke to the Milwaukee Brewers in exchange for five players, reports ESPN.

The deal would involve the Brewers giving up Alcides Escobar, Lorenzo Cain, Jeremy Jeffress and Jake Odorizzi.

In return, they get 2009 Cy Young winner Greinke and Yuniesky Betancourt, along with some cash.

This deal certainly makes sense for both teams.

Kansas City (finally) dealt their former Cy Young winning pitcher Zack Greinke to the Milwaukee Brewers. In the deal the Royals get SS Alcides Escobar, OF Lorenzo Cain and pitchers Jake Odorizzi and Jeremy Jeffress. In return the Brewers also get waste-of-space SS Yunieski Betancourt.

Phil Cavarretta, best known for winning in 1945 the National League MVP with the Chicago Cubs, has passed away.

Cavarretta was born and raised in Chicago. At age 17, he was signed by the Cubs as a amateur free agent in 1934. From that day on he built a relationship with the Cubs organization that lasted 20 years.

Two Milwaukee websites are reporting the Milwaukee Brewers have tentatively reached an agreement with the Kansas City Royals to acquire right-handed pitcher Zack Greinke. The trade is pending a physical by Greinke and could be announced on Monday.
