Nick Gordon

Gordon looked set to take a more prominent role in the Twins lineup last season but struggled early in the season and then suffered a season-ending broken leg May 17. Gordon went from a light hitting utility player to adding power in 2022 by slugging .427 and hitting nine home runs with 28 doubles, which helped make him an above average hitter with a 111 wRC+. He entered spring training with a shot at winning the everyday DH role or becoming a regular in the lineup while alternating positions. He hit just .127 with a .343 OPS in April and subsequently was stuck on the bench. He then fouled a ball off his shin in mid-May and broke his right tibia. He was able to play in a rehab assignment late in September but wasn't added to the postseason roster. Traded to Miami in February, he'll enter spring training needing to fight for a utility role as his chance for an everyday job may have passed him by. Read Past Outlooks
