Andrew Vasquez Signs With Mexican League’s Tecolotes De Los Dos Laredos

By Mark Polishuk | February 22, 2025 at 8:15am CDT

The Tecolotes de los Dos Laredos of the Mexican League have signed left-hander Andrew Vasquez to a contract for the 2025 season, according to KPRC2’s Ari Alexander.  Vasquez can walk away from the deal if he receives interest from a big league club, with the Tecolotes owed nothing in buyout fees.

Vasquez has logged 63 2/3 career innings over five MLB seasons, with the large majority of that action coming when he pitched 48 1/3 frames for the Phillies and Tigers in 2023.  His bottom-line results of a 3.35 ERA were solid, though his strikeout (19.6%) and walk (10.5%) rates were both subpar, and his performance fell off drastically after he went to the Tigers on a waiver claim.  Philadelphia opted to designate Vasquez for assignment just after the trade deadline in order to clear roster space, despite Vasquez’s 2.27 ERA in 39 2/3 innings for the club.

After struggling to an 8.31 ERA in 8 2/3 innings with his new team, Vasquez returned to the Tigers last winter on a minors contract and spent the entire 2024 campaign at Triple-A Toledo.  Vasquez’s situation wasn’t helped by a lack of minor league options, but he didn’t make much of a case for promotion after posting a 5.11 ERA, 19.4% strikeout rate, and 9.6% walk rate over 68 2/3 innings with Toledo.

This stint in the Mexican League marks the first time in Vasquez’s pro career (which began as a 32nd-round pick for the Twins in 2015) that he has pitched outside of affiliated baseball.  The 31-year-old should find more of a regular role with the Tecolotes than he would in battling amongst other minor league signings withing a Major League team’s camp, and his contract’s out clause allows Vazquez some flexibility if he pitches well enough to attract attention from MLB scouts.

    The Tecos! My hometown team! They play half their games on the Mexican side in Nuevo Laredo and half their games on the U.S. side in Laredo. It allows access to foreign currency and because Mexico is too dangerous for U.S. citizens…..

      I understand they’re referred to as the dlDL’s, much like the Athletics are referred to as the A’s.

    Aaron Brooks, Travis Blankenhorn, Daniel Johnson, and Caleb Baragar all have MLB experience and have signed in the Mexican League over the course of the last three weeks. Yusniel Díaz signed to a team in the American Association.

      Diaz was a DDDD deadline disaster. For those of you who don’t know, that’s dumpster diving Dan Duquette !
