The proposed trade that would return Omar Vizquel to the Mariners is dead.

 

The switch-hitting shortstop told MLB.com Tuesday evening that his surgically repaired right knee didn't pass the physical examination given by Mariners physicians and he remains employed by the Cleveland Indians.

 

"They called me about an hour ago and told me I didn't pass the test on my knee," Vizquel said from his Issaquah, Wash., home. "It was kind of a shock. I was really looking forward to coming back and playing for the Mariners."

 

The trade reportedly would have sent shortstop Carlos Guillen to the Indians, although officials from both organizations would not confirm the particulars of the deal, which was reported in the Seattle Times Tuesday morning.

 

Mariners general manager Bill Bavasi could not be reached for comment.

 

Vizquel said he went to Safeco Field on Tuesday for some agility drills and then was examined by Dr. Larry Pedegana, the Mariners medical director and team physician Dr. Mitch Storey.
