MINNEAPOLIS -- While much of the Twins' offseason has centered around whether they plan to trade second baseman Brian Dozier, and their quest to improve the pitching staff, it doesn't mean the new front office isn't looking for ways to add offense as well.
Coming off a 103-loss season, Derek Falvey and Thad Levine have spent much of the offseason evaluating the franchise and building out the baseball operations department. But the Twins have also met with several agents for position players throughout the winter, including the representative for outfielder Jose Bautista.
It's unclear what the level of interest is from both sides, but the Twins are at least doing their due diligence on impact players like Bautista, who reportedly could sign a one-year deal to reset his value on the marketplace much like Nelson Cruz and Dexter Fowler have done in recent seasons.
