The Astros are adding backstop depth ahead of the Trade Deadline, agreeing to a deal with the Red Sox for catcher Christian Vázquez on Monday, a source told MLB.com’s Brian McTaggart. The clubs have not confirmed the move.
Vázquez is a surehanded catcher who can provide offensive production as well, and he won a World Series with Boston in 2018. He’s slashing .282/.327/.432 this season.
The Astros began a series at home against the Red Sox on Monday night.
