WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — The Houston Astros signed veteran catcher Christian Vázquez to a minor league deal and invited him to spring training, the team announced on Saturday.
The 35-year-old returns to the Astros for the first time since being a part of the team that won the World Series in 2022. He also won a title with the Red Sox in 2018.
Vázquez spent the past three years with the Twins, but he struggled offensively last season, batting .189 with three homers and 14 RBIs. His best season came in 2019, when he hit .276 with a career-high 23 homers and 72 RBIs.
Vázquez is currently playing for Puerto Rico in the World Baseball Classic.
