Twins re-sign Thome
The Minnesota Twins have re-signed designated hitter Jim Thome to a one-year contract worth $3 million.
Thome’s career appeared to be over following the 2009 season, but he joined the Twins and played well in 2010.
He did not attract much interest on the free agent market given his age, injury history and inability to play the field.
He hit .283 with 25 home runs in just 340 plate appearances last year, making him a real bargain.
Thome also gives the Twins some insurance given the uncertainty surrounding Justin Morneau’s health.
