Vazquez, a native of Puerto Rico, enjoyed his best season in 2019, when he hit 23 homers and drove in 72 runs while hitting .276.
He was originally drafted by the Red Sox in the ninth round of the 2008 MLB Amateur Draft, making him the longest-tenured player in the organization. He debuted with the big league club in 2014.
Boston also reportedly extended a qualifying offer to left-handed pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez Sunday, while designated hitter J.D. Martinez opted in to the final year of his deal with the team.
