Contract Value Index (CVI)
Luke Keaschall's $0.8M deal with the Twins earns a B CVI as a shrewd low-risk acquisition that addresses middle infield depth without hampering future flexibility. The 26-year-old second baseman profiles as a solid starter who can provide steady defense and adequate offensive production — exactly the type of player Minnesota needs while their competitive window remains open with Carlos Correa anchoring the left side of the infield. At just $800K, this contract represents exceptional value for a player capable of 2-3 WAR production, especially in today's market where proven middle infielders routinely command $8-12M annually. The one-year structure is particularly smart, allowing the Twins to evaluate Keaschall's fit while preserving payroll space for bigger moves and keeping prospects like Brooks Lee unblocked in the farm system. This deal exemplifies how teams can efficiently fill roster holes without overpaying for marginal upgrades, making it a textbook example of smart roster construction in the modern game.
Performance Analysis
Luke Keaschall grades as an above average performer among MLB second basemen, earning a B Performance grade. He is hitting with a 0.302 batting average and a 0.827 OPS (above the league average of .720, an above-average mark) this season. With 4 home runs and 28 RBI through 49 games (a 13-HR, 93-RBI pace over a full season), he brings limited power to the lineup. Luke also contributes 14 stolen bases, adding a baserunning element to his profile. As a rookie at 23, Luke is a key contributor for the Twins.
