Manuel Margot Joins Minnesota Twins in Strategic Trade from Dodgers

The trade aims to strengthen the Twins' lineup and provide backup for center fielder Byron Buxton.

  • Manuel Margot was traded from the Los Angeles Dodgers to the Minnesota Twins, marking his third team in three months.
  • Margot's arrival in the Twins' camp was notably quick, arriving less than 24 hours after the trade was finalized.
  • The trade is seen as a strategic move to balance the Twins' lineup against left-handed pitching and provide insurance for center fielder Byron Buxton.
  • Margot, a right-handed hitter, is expected to complement the Twins' left-handed-hitting corner outfielders and potentially fill in for Buxton if needed.
  • Despite recent injuries, Margot has worked hard in the offseason to strengthen his body and is ready to contribute to the Twins.
