Minnesota Gemini Ink deals with a former gold glove winner – ESPN SIOUX FALLS

It was disappointing outside the season for twin fans who hoped that the team would sign the players with big names to improve the list.

It was very quiet out of the season on this front, but the team moved on Wednesday, acquiring a former winner in the gold glove.

Per espn.com:

Outfilder Harrison Bader and the twins in Minnesota have agreed to a one -year contract with a mutual version for 2026, according to numerous reports.

Winner in St. Louis Gold Glove in 2021, Bader will play for his fifth team for five seasons.

He hit .236 with 12 homes, 51 RBI and 17 stolen bases in 25 New York Mets attempts last year. It was limited to two starts after the season in 12 games.

Bader is expected to provide an experienced right bat of the bench and excellent protection in the field that can protect the twins from too much of dropping into the field when Byron Buckston needs rest.

Bader has spent the bigger part of his time in the center of the field, but is also able to play in the corners. He would play a role similar to Michael A. Taylor in 2023, one of the twins hoped to rely on Mani Margo last year, but Margo was fighting and was not signed again.

Bader has an average .242 with 71 homes, 268 RBI and 94 thefts in 120 Cardinals attempts (2017-22), New York Yankees (2022-23), Cincinnati (2023) and the Mets that signed native from New York $ 10.5 million, a one -year deal.
