Mexican League’s Tecolotes de los dos Laredos signs left-handed Andrew Vasquez According to KPRC2’s Ari Alexander, the contract was signed for the 2025 season. If Vasquez receives interest from a major league club, then Tecolotes’ acquisition fee is not.
Vasquez has recorded 63 2/3 professional innings in five MLB seasons, and most of the moves appear when he throws 48 1/3 frames for the Phillies and Tigers in 2023. Although his strikeout (19.6%) and walking (10.5%) rates were not low, his performance dropped sharply after he went to the Tigers with a waiver claim. Philadelphia chose to designate Vasquez for missions after the trade deadline to clear roster space, although Vasquez had a 2.27 ERA in the club’s 39 2/3 innings.
After struggling with his new team for an 8.31 ERA in 8 2/3 innings, Vasquez returned to the Tigers last winter with a minor contract and spent the entire 2024 campaign at Triple-A Toledo. Vasquez is in a situation where he lacks a minor league option, but he doesn’t give him a reason to advance after posting a 5.11 ERA, a strikeout rate of 19.4% and a 9.6% walk rate at 68 2/3 innings. .
His game in the Mexican League marks the first time in Vasquez’s career (originally the 32nd round pick for the 2015 Twins), and he has pitched outside of affiliated baseball. The 31-year-old should find a more regular role in Tecolotes than he has in other minor league signings with the major league team camp, and his contract terms can give Vazquez enough flexibility to attract attention from the United States Major League Baseball Boy Scouts.
