Overview

• Ty France, a 2022 All-Star, has agreed to a one-year contract with the Minnesota Twins, pending a physical.
• France, who batted .234 with 13 home runs and 51 RBIs in 2024, played for both the Seattle Mariners and Cincinnati Reds last season after a mid-year trade.
• The Twins aim to address their unsettled first base position following Carlos Santana's departure in free agency to the Cleveland Guardians.
• France brings versatility to the infield, having primarily played first base but also spending time at second and third base during his career.
• Minnesota's roster moves included creating space for France by waiving Brent Headrick, who was claimed by the New York Yankees earlier on Tuesday.
