Most of the headlines this offseason have been focused on the Minnesota Twins’ attempt to rebuild their starting rotation, the other developing story is their intent to rebuild their infield. After non-tendering C.J. Cron earlier this week, the Twins are now in the market for a first baseman and there’s a chance they could go overseas to fill that void.
MLB.com’s Jon Morosi tweeted on Thursday afternoon that the Twins are in the market for Japanese slugger Yoshitomo Tsutsugo. The 28-year old has tremendous power from the left side of the plate as he’s crushed 185 home runs for the Yokohama Bay Stars of the Japan Central League since 2014.
