Twins Sign Ty France To One-Year Deal
The Minnesota Twins signed former Seattle Mariners All-Star infielder Ty France to an undisclosed one-year deal on Tuesday, pending a physical. France, who had an .813 OPS in 2021 with Seattle, is an interesting addition to a first base picture in Minnesota that also includes Jose Miranda, Edouard Julien and Mickey Gasper. The 30-year-old right-handed hitter began the 2024 campaign with the M's but was eventually cut and latched on with the Cincinnati Reds to close out the year. He hit a combined .234/.305/.365 with a below-average .670 OPS, 13 home runs, 51 RBI and 46 runs scored in 140 games. He was a bit better with the Reds in 52 games, hitting .251 with five homers and 20 RBI. France has been in decline offensively since his All-Star campaign in 2022 with the M's and will probably only have a part-time role in Minnesota, at best.
