It turns out the Los Angeles Dodgers aren't the only team in the NL West permitted to make offseason moves.
According to Dan Hayes and Dennis Lin of The Athletic, "The Minnesota Twins and San Diego Padres have spoken about a potential trade that would send veteran catcher Christian Vázquez to San Diego... No deal was considered imminent Wednesday, but there appeared to be motivation on both sides to continue talking."
Vázquez, 34, hit .221 with seven homers, 27 RBI and 29 runs last season. So no, he's not exactly an impact player on par with Ru014dki Sasaki, Blake Snell, Tanner Scott or Teoscar Hernández, but he does fill a need for a Padres team looking for a potential upgrade at the catcher position over the incumbent, Luis Campusano (.
