2/19/25	Who will play second for the Twins? It's up for grabs. For much of the offseason, one of the questions surrounding the Twins was “Who's on first?” After signing Ty France earlier this month, that question now has more of a concrete answer. Now, the question is who will be standing next to France on the diamond a majority of the time. “As we sit here right now, we don't have one player that I'm going to say, 'Yeah, the guy is going to get 600 plate appearances over at second base,'” manager Rocco Baldelli said.

2/15/25	New Twins first baseman Ty France will 'play a lot'. Ty France isn't going to use a fracture in his right heel as an excuse for the subpar season he had last year at the plate. France, whose deal with the Twins was made official Saturday after he agreed to a one-year, $1 million non-guaranteed contract earlier in the week, is looking to bounce back after a season disrupted by the foot injury — and the Twins plan on giving him plenty of opportunities. France, 30, hit .251 with a .683 OPS last season but was an all-star in 2022, and had the best season of his career in 2021 — .291 batting average, 18 homers and 73 RBIs in 152 games for Seattle. “There was a lot that went into it,” France said of 2024.
