Twins Secure Catcher Victor Caratini on Two-Year, $14M Deal

Catcher Victor Caratini, 32, officially signed a two-year, $14M deal with the Minnesota Twins. He is expected to back up Ryan Jeffers, providing coverage at 1B/DH as needed. Caratini, who spent the last two seasons with the Astros, posted a .263/.329/.406 line with 20 HR and 76 RBI in 114 games in 2025. The Twins will need to make a 40-man roster move to finalize the signing, with fellow catcher Alex Jackson a likely candidate to be moved.
