The Houston Astros have signed catcher Christian Vazquez to a minor league contract with an invitation to Spring Training, following his participation in the World Baseball Classic for Puerto Rico. This marks Vazquez’s return to the Astros after a lackluster stint with the Minnesota Twins, where he struggled offensively but remained valued for his defensive skills. He will compete for the backup catcher role against Cesar Salazar and Carlos Perez. The signing reflects the Astros’ dissatisfaction with their current backup situation, allowing them to assess Vazquez without significant risk.
