James Outman Pushing for Opening Day Roster Spot

Outman has been one of the Twins' top hitters this spring, creating a difficult roster decision for the front office. Because he is out of minor league options, he would likely be claimed on waivers if sent down. The team faces a surplus of outfielders, and while his defense and base running make him a valuable asset, the club may need to trade an outfielder to balance the roster. He remains in the mix for an Opening Day spot as the team evaluates its final lineup decisions.
