Padres in talks with Twins to acquire veteran catcher Christian Vázquez for defensive boost.

The San Diego Padres are in talks with the Minnesota Twins to potentially trade for veteran catcher Christian Vázquez. Vázquez, valued for his defensive skills, is in the final year of a $10 million contract. The Padres aim to bolster their catching position after Luis Campusano's struggles. The Twins might trade Vázquez for salary relief, but the deal is not imminent, as both teams are negotiating the division of his contract.
