MINNEAPOLIS -- The Twins are one of six finalists for free agent Yu Darvish, the right-hander confirmed via Twitter on Wednesday night.
Darvish responded to a tweet that said the Rangers, Yankees, Cubs, Astros and Twins are finalists, saying he knows "one more team is in." Minnesota general manager Thad Levine, who has a strong relationship with Darvish because of their time together with the Rangers, said on MLB Network Radio on Thursday that he was happy to see the Twins still in the race for Darvish, who is the top starting pitcher on the market.
