Former Orioles All-Star Jonathan Schoop finalizing one-year deal with Twins, per report

Former Orioles All-Star second baseman Jonathan Schoop will look to rebuild his value after a disastrous 2017 in Baltimore and Milwaukee on what is reportedly a one-year deal with the Minnesota Twins.

According to The Athletic, Schoop will play out what would have been his final year before free agency on a deal worth more than $7 million with the Twins after the Milwaukee Brewers, who acquired Schoop at the July 31 nonwaiver trade deadline, decided to not tender him a contract last week.

Schoop, 27, was coming off an All-Star 2017 season that earned him Most Valuable Oriole when his 2018 season went off the rails.
