Players who have appeared for Twins and Rangers | MLB Immaculate Grid September 28

First baseman and outfielder Joey Gallo was drafted by the Texas Rangers in the first round of the 2012 draft. After failing to make an impact in his first two seasons with the team, Gallo broke out in 2018, hitting 41 home runs and 80 RBIs. Although the Vegas native never hit for a high average his slashline of .253/.319/.598 in 2018 earned a spot on his first All-Star team. In 2021, he was traded to the New York Yankees. However, after hitting just .160 in the Bronx, he was shipped out again. Now, Gallo is trying to redeem himself on the Twins, but has only hit .177/.301/.440 this year.

After several years of relative irrelevance, which included a season on the Twins, pitcher Lance Lynn tossed 208 innings in 2019 with the Rangers. That year, the right hander amassed an ERA of 3.67 and a record of 16-11 to finish in the top five in AL Cy Young voting. Since joining the Los Angeles Dodgers at the 2023 trade deadline, Lynn is 6-2 with a 4.50 ERA in ten starts.

23-year old Scott Erickson came into his own as a sophomore for the 1991 Minnesota Twins. That year, the 6-foot-4 starter led MLB with 20 wins, pitched to a 3.18 ERA, and struck out 108 batters to finish second in AL Cy Young voting. Unfortunately, Erickson would peak early, and by the time he joined the Rangers in 2004, finished the season with an ERA over six.
