MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Minnesota Twins agreed to acquire outfielder Manuel Margot in a three-player trade with the Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday, according to a person with knowledge of the trade.
The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the deal had yet to be finalized. The person confirmed the Twins will receive minor league shortstop Rayne Doncon and cash and send minor league shortstop Noah Miller to the Dodgers in the deal for Margot, an experienced right-handed hitter who will provide extra depth.
The 29-year-old Margot just joined the Dodgers two months ago with starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow in a trade with Tampa Bay. Margot hit .264 with a .686 OPS in 99 games for the Rays last season while playing center field and right field. He has also played left field.
Margot made his major league debut with San Diego in 2016 and was the primary center fielder for the Padres from 2017-19, before being traded to the Rays. In 788 major league games, Margot has batted .255 with a .694 OPS, 52 home runs and 91 stolen bases.
