Catcher Victor Caratini and Twins agree to a $14 million, 2-year contract, AP source says

A person familiar with the negotiations tells The Associated Press that catcher Victor Caratini and the Minnesota Twins have agreed Friday to a $14 million, two-year contract

1 DAY AGO • Associated Press

Settles at $6.7 million The Twins and Jeffers avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $6.7 million contract Thursday, Darren Wolfson of Channel 5 Saint Paul reports.

Impact It's a nice raise for Jeffers, who was in his final year of arbitration eligibility before reaching free agency next winter. The 28-year-old catcher slashed .266/.356/.397 with nine home runs across 464 plate appearances with the Twins in 2025. With Christian Vazquez expected to depart in free agency, Jeffers is set to be the clear No. 1 catcher in Minnesota in 2026.

Impact Jeffers singled and stole his first and only base of the year in the fourth inning before knocking an RBI double in the sixth. He produced two straight multi-hit performances to end the year, but he also finished with an 18-game homerless drought. Jeffers hit .266 with a .753 OPS, 35 extra-base hits and 47 RBI through 464 plate appearances.

Not yet cleared for games Jeffers (concussion) will travel with the Twins on their final road trip this week but has yet to be cleared to play in game, MLB.com reports.

Impact Jeffers has been sidelined for the past two-plus weeks with a concussion. He has been able to go through most baseball activities, but Jeffers has yet to clear concussion protocol and it's uncertain whether that will happen before the end of the regular season. If Jeffers is unable to make it back this week, Christian Vazquez -- who was activated from the 10-day injured list Monday -- will serve as the Twins' primary catcher.
