MINNEAPOLIS — First baseman Ty France has finalized a one-year contract with the Minnesota Twins, who also announced a minor league deal with right-hander Erasmo Ramírez. The 30-year-old France hit .234 with 24 doubles, 13 homers and 51 RBIs last year for Seattle and Cincinnati, who acquired him on July 29 after he was designated for assignment. He became a free agent on Nov. 1 when he refused an outright assignment to Triple-A Louisville. France has a .263 average with 74 homers and 312 RBIs in six seasons with San Diego, Seattle and Cincinnati.
