Minnesota Twins Sign Former All-Star Ty France to One-Year Deal

The 30-year-old first baseman, who played for the Mariners and Reds in 2024, fills a key positional need for Minnesota ahead of Spring Training.

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.
