Twins Agree To Terms With Jim Thome

By Mark Polishuk [January 26 at 5:05pm CST]

Charley Walters and Kelsie Smith of the St. Paul Pioneer Press are reporting that the Twins and Jim Thome have agreed to a one-year contract. LaVelle Neal of the Star Tribune (via Twitter) says the deal is worth $1.5MM, with an additional $700K available to be earned in incentives.

 

Hope it leads the twins to the AL Central title over the WS.

LOL, whatever White Sox fans wanted the Sox to resign Thome are probably thrilled with this.

Isn't Kubel supposed to be a horrible defender?

[sneakypower]

yeah, Delmon Young too (to a lesser extent though)

No matter how washed up a player is, it always sucks to have a former fan fav sign with a top rival.

Nice addition. He's in a decline but can still be productive, especially on a team with only three (maybe four) actual offensive threats.

ive heard this before and i dont really understand where it comes from

 

mauer

kubel

span

cuddyer

 

...are all good hitters, and if hardy puts up his 07-08 numbers, he's another. the twins scored the 5th most runs in all of baseball last year. they are a good offensive team.

If their pitching shows up, that team is going to be scary.
