The Twins have agreed to a contract with free agent first baseman Logan Morrison, according to a source with knowledge of the signing.
Morrison will receive $6.5 million this season with a vesting option that would allow him to earn as much as $16.5 million over two years.
Morrison, 30, brings a power bat to the Twins' lineup, as he hit a career-high 38 home runs last season for Tampa Bay. It was his highest home run total since 2011, when he hit 23 with the Marlins.
Morrison likely will be the designated hitter for the Twins while playing occasionally at first base when Joe Mauer needs a break.
