Brock Stewart has been traded to the Dodgers.
In return for Stewart, the Twins acquired outfielder James Outman, as first reported by ESPN's Alden Gonzalez. Outman, 28, still has (theoretically) four years of team control remaining after this one—but he's spent the majority of this season in Triple A, and has a .487 OPS in the majors. Outman is a lefty batter with a great glove, even in center field, and he had 23 home runs in a very impressive rookie season in 2023. He has plus speed and plus power. He's been such a wreck at the plate, though, that it's a bit odd to hear that this is a 1-for-1 deal.
Outman was a late bloomer, so the career setback he's gone through over the last year and a half has him rushing toward 30 without having proved he can consistently handle the best pitching in the world. His tools—especially the power, if he can get to it the way he did two seasons ago—sets him apart from DaShawn Keirsey Jr., but broadly, he offers a similar profile. The Twins are rolling the dice on their own player development and betting that they can turn around the struggling ex-slugger.
