Yanks Void Vizcaino's Contract
From Jim Street:
The latest in a string of injuries for right-handed reliever Luis Vizcaino apparently will cost him more than just another season on the sidelines.
The 36-year-old pitcher, who signed a Minor League contract with the Yankees in December, had the deal voided by the organization on Wednesday, according to the New York Post.

Yankees Release Luis Vizcaino

On the subject of the bullpen, the Yankees were quietly excited about agreeing with Luis Vizcaino on a minor league contract.

But in Winter Ball the Yankees had the righty throwing consistently...

Yankees Sign Luis Vizcaino
I don't have terribly fond memories of Vizcaino, nor am I enthused by his recent injury history. That being said, I do like Cashman's low-cost, low-risk approach to creating bullpen depth throughout the system. Vizcaino isn't likely to provide the Yankees with much, and I would be shocked to see him receive any moderately leveraged situations, but it's a sensible move.

Yankees sign another reliever – Luis Vizcaino
I read this from Marc Carig/The Star-Ledger.
I remember when Luis Vizcaino played for the Yankees.
It looks like he did well in the Winter League…
But he pitched well in 12 appearances for Aguilas Cibaenas of the Dominican Winter League, allowing just one run in 11 2/3 innings (0.77 ERA).

Indians Sign Vizcaino
The Indians are preparing to sign reliever Luis Vizcaino, a source told Ken Rosenthal. Vizcaino, who was released by the Cubs, will only cost the Indians 400,000, with the Cubs picking up his 4 million dollar contract.
