LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Los Angeles Dodgers acquired minor league pitcher Jose Vasquez from the Minnesota Twins on Thursday for catcher Diego Cartaya.
Vasquez had a 4.99 ERA while striking out 45 batters in 30 2/3 innings while going 4-0 for the Dominican Summer League last season. The 20-year-old right-hander is 5-2 with an 8.05 ERA and 71 strikeouts in 57 innings over two seasons in the DSL.
He was signed by the Twins in December 2022.
Cartaya played 93 games at Double-A Tulsa and Triple-A Oklahoma City last season. The 23-year-old Venezuelan had 66 home runs and 235 RBIs in 363 minor league games for the Dodgers. He signed in July 2018 for a $2.5 million bonus.
