MINNEAPOLIS -- Historically, the Twins haven't been huge players in free agency, and the front office under chief baseball officer Derek Falvey and general manager Thad Levine views it as more of a way to supplement a club than as a magic elixir.
In their first offseason in charge of the Twins, Falvey and Levine looked to create a better clubhouse culture, signing veterans like catchers Jason Castro and Chris Gimenez and relievers Matt Belisle and Craig Breslow. Castro was the lone big splash of the group, getting three years and $24.
