With regard to their already record-setting offense, the Minnesota Twins have evidently taken up the mantra that overkill is underrated.
As Mark Feinsand of MLB.com was first to report, the Twins struck a deal with free-agent third baseman Josh Donaldson on Tuesday:
Per Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, Donaldson's four-year pact is worth a guaranteed $92 million. It also has an option for a fifth year that could raise his total guarantee to $100 million.
Though this is the Twins' largest investment in a single player since they extended Joe Mauer for $184 million back in 2010, that they went ahead with it isn't surprising.
