The Minnesota Twins made their fourth signing of the offseason yesterday, bringing back a very familiar face. The team’s leading slugger for the past two years, Nelson Cruz, is now back in a Minnesota Twins uniform.
The team added the Marvin Miller award winner for 2020 back before the 2019 season, signing him to a one year deal with a one year option for a grand total of $26 million. That $13 million AAV must have seemed like a great number for both sides, because Cruz has agreed to return on a one year deal for $13 million.
