Ramon Vazquez - SS - Marlins

Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com reports that Ramon Vazquez "is aiming for a comeback and is drawing interest."

The 35-year-old hasn't appeared in a major league game since 2009. We can't imagine teams are beating down the door to sign him, but he can probably catch on with a minor league deal somewhere.

Blue Jays released INF Ramon Vazquez.

As teams sign their draft picks and other players move up the ladder, guys like Vazquez, who was signed to a minor league deal just a month ago, are getting the boot. The 34-year-old will attempt to catch on elsewhere.

Cardinals released INF Ramon Vazquez.

Vazquez had an out clause in his contract for June 1 and decided to exercise it. He was batting .275/.362/.313 for Triple-A Memphis and should be able to catch on elsewhere on a minor league deal.

Ramon Vazquez - SS - Marlins

Cardinals reassigned SS Ramon Vazquez and OF Amaury Cazana to minor league camp.

Vazquez was signed to a minor league contract this winter and given an invitation to big league camp, but there isn't a spot for him right now on the St. Louis middle infield. He'll serve as organizational depth.

Ramon Vazquez - SS - Marlins

Cardinals signed INF Ramon Vazquez to a minor league contract.

Vazquez can play all over the infield, which automatically makes him a "Tony La Russa-type player." The 34-year-old spent all of 2010 in the minors, batting just .257/.330/.363 with one homer over 179 Triple-A at-bats. Ideally, he would represent depth in the minors.

Astros signed INF Ramon Vazquez to a minor league contract.

Tim Dierkes of MLB Trade Rumors has the story. The Mariners gave Vazquez a shot in April with a minors deal, but he failed to get it going offensively at Triple-A Tacoma. He has already reported to Triple-A Round Rock.

Ramon Vazquez - SS - Marlins

Mariners signed INF Ramon Vazquez to a minor league contract.

Vazquez was released by the Pirates earlier this month. The 33-year-old infielder batted .230/.335/.279 with one home run and 16 RBI in 204 at-bats last season. He'll serve as organizational depth at Triple-A Tacoma for now, but could call the call to the majors at any time.

Ramon Vazquez - SS - Marlins

Lookout Landing hears that the Mariners have signed Ramon Vazquez to a minor league contract.

Vazquez was released by the Pirates this month after hitting .230/.355/.279 in 204 at-bats in the first season of a two-year, $4 million contract. He had a nice year for the Rangers in the AL West in 2008, and he could serve as a replacement for Matt Tuiasosopo in a utility role if he finds his swing in Triple-A.

Pirates released INF Ramon Vazquez.

He was designated for assignment by the club over the weekend, but now he'll be free to sign with any team. Vazquez, 33, batted .230/.355/.279 with one home run and 16 RBI in 204 at-bats with the Pirates last season.

Ramon Vazquez - SS - Marlins

Pirates designated SS Ramon Vazquez for assignment.

With no interest on the trade block, this was Pittsburgh's only recourse. The writing was on the wall after Vazquez's putrid .176/.243/.176 spring. He'll likely clear waivers and latch on with an organization's Triple-A affiliate.

Ramon Vazquez - SS - Marlins

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Dejan Kovacevic is reporting that the Pirates will release Ramon Vazquez.

They had been trying to deal him all spring to no avail, so this isn't a huge shock. Vazquez didn't exactly make himself indispensable this spring as he hit a forgettable .176/.243/.176. He joins the ever growing ranks of middling 30-somethings who are hoping to get an offer, but who have to know that they're fighting against time.

Ramon Vazquez - SS - Marlins

Ed Price of AOL Fanhouse reports that the Rangers are looking at Pirates infielder Ramon Vazquez to fill a backup role.

Vazquez has been on the trade block all spring, and it shouldn't take much to pry him away from Pirates camp. The 33-year-old batted .230/.355/.279 with one home run and 16 RBI in 204 at-bats for the Bucs last season. He is 3-for-12 this spring with one RBI in six games.
