Reading more about this sting it seems like some pretty top notch police work. The girl's mom discovered the texts and alerted the police, who took the time to make absolutely sure it was Vazquez (partially by matching tattoos that appeared in pornographic videos he sent to the girl) and once they had, they moved quickly and quietly enough to be able to seize a bunch of his electronic devices fully intact.

I know they're not dealing with a criminal mastermind or anything here but that is still a solid effort on a case where a zillion things could have gone wrong and derailed the whole thing.

The cops acted competent and professional?

Sat down to have lunch and it just hit me for real that Vasquez is an incredibly good pitcher in his prime years and he just sent his entire career and life up in flames because he couldnt keep it in his pants over a 13 year old.

What a loving moron.

I mean, ballplayers do pretty well with ladies, if that's their aim. This dude wanted to gently caress 13 year olds.

Also are these US charges, and is the victim US or Venezuela based?

She's in Florida, they're US charges. Florida & Allegheny County authorities collaborated and he's awaiting extradition from PA to Florida currently. They arrested him at his apartment in Pittsburgh.

I thought there were Federal charges involved but I think I was wrong.

you have to wonder if mlb and all the teams knew something was going on with vazquez legally. or even if there were rumors about this going on. him not being traded was absolutely puzzling at the time, but if this investigation or smoke was known throughout the league, then there we go.

but yea, i hope to never hear about him again.

This hints at the correct answer, by the way.

The only reason to make that trade as the other team is if you're completely incompetent (not :lol: Mets, that's within a normal range. I mean "the Pirates forgetting to protect anyone for the RuleV draft" levels of terrible) or you know something that the other team doesn't.

I doubt it. I didn't think the non-trade was all that puzzling. At the time of the trade deadline he was cheap, productive, and under control for three or four more years (I don't feel like confirming how many sorry). Those are exactly the players the Pirates FO won't move unless it's a kings ransom. Most logical landing place was LA and they didn't want to move their absolute top prospects.

Yeah apparently the Pirates wanted Dustin May and drew a line in the sand over his inclusion in a trade, and LA balked.

I hope to hear about him exactly one more time, when he's sentenced to a long rear end time in jail.
