Yankees Void Deal With Vizcaino

By Zachary Links | February 9, 2011 at 7:46pm CDT

The Yankees have voided their contract with reliever Luis Vizcaino, according to Joel Sherman of the New York Post.  The right-hander tore his Achilles tendon late in the Winter Ball season and is not likely to pitch this season.

Vizcaino, 36, signed a minor league deal with the Yanks in December that would have paid him $750K for making the big league roster.  The Yanks saw the veteran as a candidate to work his way to the majors in '11 after he impressed in the Dominican Winter League, throwing consistently in the mid-90s.  Vizcaino's winter performance was crucial as he missed all of 2010 and most of 2009 with arm trouble.

For his career, Vizcaino has a 4.33 ERA with 8.1 K/9 and 3.9 BB/9.

    Hats off to Luis. He was solid out of the ‘pen for the White Sox when they won it all. What a tough break for a guy working hard to make it back to the bigs.

      There sure is a lot of press this season over low percentage players to make a MLB team and especially so with large market ones is it not? Then ones that get injured have a topic all of their own like this..

      One has to wonder..

        On days when there’s posts about Jake Peavy being eager to perform well (well…duh?), this is surprisingly news worthy.

    Dont worry I bet the Yanks will sign another washed up or injured pitcher to a minor league deal in a matter of minutes. Thats the cashman guarantee

    Wow. Bit of an oversight during the negotiations?

    Yankees: Hey Luis. We’ll give you $750k if you come pitch for us.
    Luis: Que?!?!?

      the injury happened AFTER he signed the contract, so how’s that an oversight?
