Minnesota Twins

The Twins agreed to sign free agent 3rd baseman Josh Donaldson to a 4-year $96 Million contract with a club option for a 5th year. Star Tribune Sports Columnist Jim Souhan joined me on WJON today.

Donaldson, 34, spent last season with Atlanta, where he posted a .900 OPS with 37 home runs. The move likely means Miguel Sano will shift from third base to first base for the 2020 season.

According to the Athletic the Twins have come to terms on contracts with free agent starting pitchers Rich Hill and Homer Bailey. Terms of each deal have not been disclosed.

The Twins' annual Winter Caravan stop in St. Cloud is set for January 20th, 2020 at the River's Edge Convention Center. Tickets are on sale now at the Townsquare Media box office and cost $6 for adults, while kids five and under are admitted free with a kids ticket.

The Minnesota Wild have won 5 games in a row and are now tied with 3 other teams with 32 points for the last playoff spot in the Western Conference. Star Tribune Sports Columnist Jim Souhan joined me on WJON today.

Had Odorizzi not signed the one-year deal, he would have been free to sign with any team as a free agent, while the Twins would have received draft pick compensation.
