Gallo and the Twins agreed to a one-year, $11 million contract. The previous All-Star will probably be heading again to the American League after spending his first seven and a half seasons with the Texas Rangers and New York Yankees.

The Dodgers traded for Gallo on the 2022 commerce deadline. After being within the combine for the Juan Soto sweepstakes and failing to accumulate him, L.A. landed with Gallo as a substitute, placing him out of his distress in New York.

The 29-year-old will look to return to the All-Star kind that he was in as a Ranger as he slashed .211/.336/.497 with a .833 OPS, hitting 145 house runs and 317 RBIs.

His half-a-season as a Dodger was no completely different from his two seasons in New York. His batting common was three factors increased in Dodger blue (.162), slugging was increased by 25 factors (.393), and his OPS was increased by 11 factors (.671).

General, he couldn’t discover his nack within the lineup and didn’t contribute in any respect within the 2022 postseason with L.A.

His time in Los Angeles was very short-lived, however he gave us a ton of snickers alongside Hanser Alberto within the clubhouse and a few fairly superior dingers.

Good luck to Joey, and we want him the very best with the Twins.
