Minneapolis Completing their first move since a failed attempt to re-sign Carlos Correa ended earlier this week, the Twins signed veteran outfielder Joey Gallo to a one-year deal worth $11 million, a major-league source confirmed.

The acquisition not only offers Gallo, who is coming off the worst season of his career, a chance to prove his worth in time for a big payday next offseason, but it also provides the Twins with a potential avenue to trade Max Kepler from what has developed into a glut of left-handed hitters in the outfield corners. Gallo batted an underwhelming .160/.280/.357 with 19 home runs and 47 RBIs in 410 plate appearances for the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers last season.
