In response, according to report in local media in the U.S. Speculated that the Dodgers would recruit Vazquez to make up for the team's biggest weakness.
Huntington already said he would keep as much as Vazquez, but when the rumor of his transfer did not go away, he spoke again. "I'm thinking about how to make the team better, according to report, Huntington said through MLB.com on Sunday. Sometimes I can decide for the future of the club, but I believe one day Felipe can play in the playoffs as a member of Pittsburgh.

Many argued that it could give up Vasquez and secure future resources as competition for ranking is not easy.
But Huntington said,If we lose 100 next season, we can think of a way. Pittsburgh, however, can play in the playoffs. Even if it's not this season, I'll try to be able to play next season. It's very important to have Vazquez as the team's closer for that day.
Meanwhile, left-hander Vazquez has played in 39 games this season, with two wins, one loss, 21 saves and a 1.91 ERA.
