The Twins signed Logan Morrison to a one-year deal:
Morrison will make $6 million in 2018, with a possible vesting option driving it to $16.5 million over two years, the report says. Morrison hit 38 home runs last season with the Rays, and he has 69 home runs during the last three seasons.
Adding Morrison provides Minnesota with depth should designated hitter Miguel Sano get handed a suspension for sexual assault allegations. Sano will make his spring debut Wednesday, but he’s also been recovering from a leg injury.
The 2017 season stands as an outlier for Morrison. His contract is more in line with his history, which is less than a one WAR player. In past years, some teams might have valued Morrison’s recent performance more, but that’s not the case this year.
On the other hand, Morrison did hit the ball in the air more in 2017, a rate far above his career average. If that uppercut proves to be repeatable, the Twins landed themselves a very good player at a very low price.
