Andrew Stevenson Signs With Twins
2 years agoOutfielder Andrew Stevenson signed with the Minnesota Twins on a minor-league contract on Thursday. Stevenson spent the last five seasons with the Washington Nationals but mainly played in the minor leagues. In 2021, he made 213 plate appearances in the big leagues and slashed .229/.294/.339 with five homers and a .632 OPS. The 28-year-old turned some heads this past season after displaying impressive bat-to-ball skills in Triple-A Rochester. Stevenson amassed an .801 OPS with 16 home runs. If those numbers can translate to the big leagues, it could get him some outfield reps. His speed is a major plus, which is supplemented by an impressive glove in the outfield. It will certainly be challenging for Stevenson to break the Twins' 26-man roster considering the current outfield depth, but he could be used as organizational depth.
