"Dean earns the largest contract of the group with $1.4MM in guaranteed money ($1.1MM salary, $300K signing bonus) and another $300K available in incentives. Chirinos also got a $300K signing bonus, as well as $900K in guaranteed salary, and up to $200K more in incentives. Tolhurst will receive $800K in salary, a $200K signing bonus, and can get another $200K in incentive bonuses."
"Dean has spent the last three seasons with the Twins, hitting .315/.384/.560 with 86 homers over 1686 plate appearances. His distinguished resume with the Seoul-based team also includes a KBO All-Star nod in 2023 and two Golden Glove Awards. Dean hit .228/.286/.390 over 365 PA and 126 games with the Marlins, Cardinals, and Giants from 2018-22, and had trouble sticking in the majors after getting most of his playing time with Miami in 2018-19."
LG Twins re-signed right-hander Yonny Chirinos, first baseman Austin Dean, and right-hander Anders Tolhurst for the 2026 season, retaining their full trio of foreign-born players. Dean received $1.4MM guaranteed ($1.1MM salary, $300K signing bonus) plus up to $300K in incentives. Chirinos signed for $900K guaranteed with a $300K signing bonus and up to $200K in incentives. Tolhurst will earn $800K salary, a $200K signing bonus, and up to $200K in incentives. All three were key contributors to the Twins' 2025 Korean Series title. Dean has hit .315/.384/.560 with 86 homers over three seasons in Seoul, and Chirinos rebounded after Tommy John surgery and uneven MLB results.
