According to the exclusive KRIS report, the man in the video is Danry Vasquez, who played for the Houston Astros' Double-A team, the Corpus Christi Hooks, at the time of the incident. He has also played for the Detroit Tigers and the West Michigan Whitecaps.
"A recently released video out of Corpus Christi, Texas, portrays a domestic violence episode involving Vasquez. Upon being made aware of the nature of the incident, the Barnstormers made a prompt decision to cut ties with the 24-year-old outfielder," the statement adds. The statement quotes Peeples as saying, "There is no choice but to sever the relationship. Neither I, nor the Barnstormers' organization as a whole, can condone or associate with that behavior."
