Man Gary Sanchez would be interesting... Would give us RH power bat.

How's his D?

No. Just no please god. I’ve seen more than enough from that bum over here in twins land let alone his yankees days

He is horrible defensively

Catchers are that 70-125 games max behind the plate, is that approx 800 OPS  really important in your lineup?

IMO no. But I tend to be much more in the "Defense first" camp than most people are when it comes to catchers, Catcher offense is really expensive, and a catcher strong both offensively and defensively even more so (Hence the, justified, sky high ask for Murphy). I'd then rather just platoon two defensively strong catchers and spend elsewhere. And wait for Quero. 

Although with that being said, I don't hate the idea of Vazquez for 2-3 years. Unless the current market has inflated the price beyond all reason, that is.

I agree but I just dont see us giving him 3-4 years, especially when big market teams are in on him as well.

Would love to add him, just dont see it happening.

I agree in that I don't see it happening but I think it will be the money, not the years.  I really do not see the problem in giving him 3/4 years.  We have high hopes for Jeferson but we don't really know yet.  Even if he is ready in two years is he really going to assume an every day role from the start?  Its more likely he splits time with someone.
