Vikings' Asher Allen retires at age 24
CHICAGO, Dec. 20 (UPI) -- The Chicago White Sox announced Tuesday they have acquired pitcher Javier Vazquez and cash considerations from Arizona.
In exchange, the Diamondbacks will receive pitchers Orlando Hernandez, Luis Vizcaino and minor league outfielder Chris Young.
Vazquez spent one year with Arizona after being acquired from the New York Yankees in the Randy Johnson deal. He requested a trade to a city closer to his offseason home in Puerto Rico.
The 29-year-old righthander was 11-15 with a 4.42 earned run average in 33 starts for Arizona in 2005. He was 7-4 in his first 14 starts, but went just 4-11 in his last 19.
Vazquez pitched six seasons with Montreal, then was traded to the Yankees in December of 2003. He has a career record of 89-93 with a 4.28 ERA.
Hernandez, another ex-Yankee, was 9-9 with a 5.12 ERA for the White Sox last season.
