Per Jamey:
The Rangers have signed 11-time Gold GLove shortstop Omar Vizquel to a minor league contract, with a non-roster invite to big league camp.
TR has it too
Omar Vizquel, who has played more games at shortstop than anybody in Major League history, is officially with the Rangers and coming to camp as a candidate to be their utility infielder.
laxtonto pointed this out, but the DMN blog has it too

With this code:
[a href="link"]link title[/a]
Just replace the [ ] brackets with < and > and it’ll embed whatever link you paste in between the " ".
