The Yankees released Vargas on Friday, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.

Vargas received $2.5 million to sign with the Yankees back in August of 2018, one of the largest bonuses given to an international prospect that year. The 23-year-old shortstop made his way up to Double-A this season but slashed just .227/.299/.333 with one homer and 10 stolen bases at Somerset before being cut loose.
