Twins add Gallo on 1-year, $11M deal

The Twins are set to add Joey Gallo’s power bat and strong defense to their roster, a source told MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand on Friday. The deal, which has not been confirmed by the club, is worth $11 million over one year, according to Feinsand.

Gallo will look to turn things around after hitting .160/.280/.357 with 19 homers and a 39.8% strikeout rate over 410 plate appearances for the Yankees and Dodgers in 2022.

A left-handed hitter, Gallo struggled immensely after the Rangers dealt him to the Bronx Bombers in a six-player swap at the 2021 Trade Deadline and was unable to get back on track in 2022. New York traded him to Los Angeles for pitcher Clayton Beeter in another Deadline deal this past summer.
