Don’t recall what details were specified and which inferred or assumed
Apparently The Astros and Vazquez’s agent were in agreement or very close to an agreement and it was moving fast
Vazquez was trying everything he could to find a deal with a team that would let him start and he was actively trying to avoid the Astros but they had the most interest and the best offer.
At the last minute the agent reached back out to other teams who had shown interest and the Twins agreed to match the Astros offer.
I don’t blame Vazquez for wanting to be a starter. He was a solid contributor to the Astros World Series win, and I wish he would stick around, but I understand. No hard feelings.
I know that the White Sox were shopping him really intently earlier and trying to get someone to basically take his contract off their hands.
The fact I haven’t heard anything recently means that the Sox either found no one willing to take him or their interest in trading him was with the intent to sign someone else.
