The Minnesota Twins were all about upgrading their pitching this winter, giving both their bullpen and their rotation with a series of acquisitions.

With the market moving slowly, though, there were position players still available for sensible investments.

That included Logan Morrison and his 38 home runs.

Morrison and the Twins finalized a $6.5 million, one-year contract Wednesday, a deal that includes a $5.5 million salary this year and an $8 million club option for 2018 with a $1 million buyout. The option would become guaranteed if he reaches 600 plate appearances this season.

“In the free agent market, you are trying to buy wins. You are trying to buy production,” Twins chief baseball officer Derek Falvey said. “Ultimately we felt we could buy it at a reasonable cost on the bat side.”

The 30-year-old Morrison drove in 85 runs for the Tampa Rays last season to go with his career-best 38 homers.
