Vargas, a 29-year-old left-hander, went 14-11 with a 3.85 ERA in 33 starts last year. Morales batted .273 with 22 homers and 73 RBIs in 2012, his first season removed from a couple of ankle surgeries.

Good trade for both teams. Addresses there needs. Both are 29 years old, both are Free Agents next year. I like Mr. DePoto and what he has done. Has a very good insight and this speaks volumes of his brass. They make the right moves and gives the fans something to look forward to. Best of luck and continued success.
