There it is. The big deal for Minnesota Twins fans has finally rolled around, as the team inked former Los Angeles Angels shortstop Andrelton Simmons. This is huge news for the team, and a far bigger signing when compared against the likes of Hansel Robles and J.A. Happ.

Simmons is a four-time Gold Glove winner and is known across the league for his defensive strengths. He’ll slot in as the starting shortstop and immediately give the Minnesota Twins the best left side of the infield in all of baseball.
