Twins Bring In Niko Goodrum On Minor-League Pact
11 months agoThe Minnesota Twins have signed utility player Niko Goodrum to a minor-league deal. The signing is of the full-circle variety as the Twins drafted Goodrum in the second round of the 2010 draft while he debuted in the big leagues with the club for 11 games in the 2017 season. However, the bulk of Goodrum's big-league time has come with the Tigers as he impressed with a .245 average alongside 16 home runs and 12 stolen bases in 131 games in the 2018 season. However, his bat would tail off over the next four big league seasons. He went overseas to play for Lotte of the KBO in 2023 and while he hit a quality .295, he interestingly did not hit a home run or steal a base across 50 games played. He could crack the Twins as a super utility option or give them versatile depth at Triple-A.
