By posting, Twins accept.  Teaming Vazquez up with Jeffers gives me a full time catcher now.  While $2.5 is a little more than I would pay in FA for Vazquez, Montero's salary is also a bit high too (even with the pretty good 2nd half last year) and I plan on using the extra $1.1 towards another reliever.  Easy trade that made sense from both sides.  Thanks for the quick talks Adam.

Astros confirm.
I have more catchers than needed, so exchanging one for a reliever makes sense.
Thanks Mike.
