Harrison Bader, formerly an outfielder with the Mets, signed a one-year, $6.25 million contract with the Minnesota Twins. The deal includes a mutual option for 2026, with Bader eligible for up to $2 million in bonuses. Over the past season, he showcased exceptional defense but faced competition for playing time. Bader's signing is seen as a strategic move to bolster the Twins' outfield depth, particularly behind the injury-prone Byron Buxton, as the team strives to improve after missing the playoffs in 2024.
"To be given an opportunity as a free agent this offseason, I never imagined I would have as much fun as I have this year."
"Bader... slashed .236/.284/.373 for the Amazin's last season, adding 12 homers and 17 stolen bases."
