On a day when a three-team trade involving one of the game’s best young catchers went down between the A’s, Braves and Brewers, the Twins have reportedly secured their backstop situation by agreeing to a deal with veteran catcher Christian Vázquez. Jon Heyman of the New York Post was the first to break the news, which is reportedly a three-year deal, per The Athletic‘s Ken Rosenthal.
Vázquez, 32, will replace Gary Sánchez, who was Minnesota’s primary catcher in 2022 and is also now a free agent.
