We’re getting down to the wire ahead of the MLB trade deadline and Boston Red Sox catcher Christian Vazquez is the latest domino to fall.
On Monday, less than 24 hours before the trade deadline, a bizarre situation occurred ahead of the Red Sox’s game against the Houston Astros. According to Jeff Passan, long-time Red Sox catcher Vazquez was on the move just hours before first pitch to… the hosting Astros.
It’s not often trades take a player between clubhouses like this, but Vazquez seemingly found out about the trade while he was on the field for warmups. Media for the Red Sox and Astros were able to track down Vazquez to ask him his thoughts on the trade, but before the 31-year-old catcher could get very far, Boston public relations awkwardly pulled him away from the crowd.
