2024 Fantasy Outlook
Minnesota signed Vazquez to a three-year, $30 million contact before last season to be the team's primary catcher, but he struggled offensively while Ryan Jeffers excelled at the plate. Vazquez hit just .223 with little power (.095 ISO) and a paltry .280 OBA. His underlying metrics were equally poor as he had a career-worst 23.1% K% and was in the bottom 1st percentile in xwOBA. He also can't blame health as he avoided the injured list. The only hope for a rebound is that he's alternated productive and abysmal seasons at the plate throughout his career. Vazquez was a plus with his defense, however, as he was in the 70th percentile in pitch framing (per Baseball Savant) and was 8th among all catchers in DEF (a defensive measure from Fangraphs). The Twins like to utilize two catchers to reduce wear and tear, but Vazquez will likely have a secondary role as Jeffers started every playoff game, signaling Jeffers is now the top option.
