Vince Velasquez of the Philadelphia Phillies just threw an absolute gem by tossing a complete game, three-hit shutout with 16 strikeouts against the Padres.
While the right-handed fireballer is 2-0 on the season donning Philly red, he was nearly wearing a different uniform this season. A Yankee uniform.
During the offseason, the Yankees’ acquisition of Aroldis Chapman sparked trade rumors involving 2015 closer Andrew Miller. There were several teams on the contact list with the Bronx Bombers, including the Houston Astros, who at the time had Velasquez on their roster.
