Twins acquired OF Malique Ziegler from the Giants for 1B/OF Tyler Austin.
Ziegler was a 22nd-round pick in the 2016 MLB Draft out of North Iowa Area Community College and has batted .245/.339/.376 with nine home runs and 38 stolen bases through 143 professional games -- all below Double-A ball. The 22-year-old will presumably report to the Twins’ High-A affiliate in Fort Myers.
