The Minnesota Twins won the right to bid for Korean first baseman Byung-ho Park. The mystery team was announced Monday after the winning bid of $12.85 million was named Friday by the Nexen Heroes.
The team has 30 days to negotiate a contract.
I listed him as an option Friday’s free agent primer, but noted the logjam currently in the corner infield with Joe Mauer, Trevor Plouffe and Miguel Sano. Even if Sano plays outfield for a number of games, adding Park creates more traffic, and almost spells out an impending Plouffe trade.
