Left-hander is currently pitching for Tecolotes de los Dos Laredos of the Mexican League but reports that multiple MLB clubs are interested in him. His deal has a $0 buyout for MLB affiliates. Vasquez, 31, is out to a great start in Mexico. He has to sed 7 2/3 innings over seven appearances without allowing an earned run. He has only struck out six of the 32 batters hes faced, an 18.8% pace, but has Joe Boyle Jersey surrendered just one walk. He has done that while serving as the clubs closer, with three saves already. The Mexican League is generally very hitter-friendly. The league-wide earned run average is 5.73 this year while batters have a combined line of .292/.371/.458. Of course, thats a tiny sample size, but Vasquez also has some decent numbers in affiliated ball. He has 63 2/3 major league innings on his track record with a 4.24 ERA. His 21.5% strikeout rate and 10.6% walk rate are a bit worse than average but not by much, while his 48.1% ground ball rate is strong. He had a rough season in 2024, being stuck in Triple-A with the Tigers and posting a 5.11 ERA for the Toledo Mud Hens, but he has previously had good minor league numbers. From 2021 to 2023, he logged 87 1/3 Triple-A innings with a 2.89 ERA, 36.4% strikeout rate and 9.1% walk rate. Several teams are dealing with injuries to left-handed relievers, with the Mets one prominent example. They recently lost both and to the injured list. Young will undergo Tommy John surgery and Minter might require season-ending lat surgery. The club signed but hes recovering from his own Tommy John procedure and has already been placed on the 60-day IL. of the Diamondbacks and of the Pirates are also on the 60-day IL for their respective clubs. Taking it all into consideration, its understandable that clubs are sniffing around. Vasquez has a competent rsum and his Mexican career has started well. With the rate of pitching injuries, it seems he may get a chance somewhere. Photo courtesy of Rick Osentoski, Imagn Images. Billy Butler Jersey
