Astros acquire Christian Vázquez from Red Sox
The Astros have seemingly decided to make their moves ahead of tomorrow’s trade deadline, as they’ve just completed their second trade of the day, acquiring Christian Vázquez from the Red Sox:
The Houston Astros are finalizing a deal to acquire catcher Christian Vázquez from the Boston Red Sox, sources tell ESPN.
The Red Sox are playing in Houston tonight, so Vázquez presumably will just walk around the stadium to join his new teammates. And the Sox's sale begins.
