The Minnesota Twins acquired first baseman Eric Wagaman from the Florida Marlins on Friday in exchange for minor league left-hander Kade Bragg.

Wagaman, 28, batted .250 with nine home runs and 53 RBIs in 140 games for the Marlins last season.

A former 13th-round draft pick of the New York Yankees, Wagaman made his major league debut and appeared in 18 games with the Los Angeles Angels in 2024.

Bragg, 24, was a 17th-round draft pick by the Twins in 2023 and has gone 8-2 with a 2.74 ERA over 48 relief appearances in two seasons at three different minor league levels. He advanced as high as Double-A Wichita last season.
