David O’Brien of the Atlanta Journal Constitution says that the Braves are trying to workout an extension with Javier Vazquez.

The 33 year old Vazquez is entering the final year of a three year, $34.5 million deal he signed with the White Sox in 2007, and was 15-10 with a 2.87 ERA with the Braves this past season.

Lastly, Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports says that Jim Riggleman and Bobby Valentine are finalists for the managerial job with the Nationals.

Valentine was a candidate or the opening in Cleveland before former Nationals manager Manny Acta was hired.

Riggleman served as interim manager in Washington and managed the Nationals to a 33-42 record after Acta was fired.
