Josh Donaldson sweepstakes: Twins “likely out of the bidding” for star 3B, per report

Things have ramped up in the race to sign Josh Donaldson, and if you’re a Braves fan, a recent report out of the Star Tribune in Minnesota would indicate good news.

According to the report, the Twins have “grown pessimistic” about their chances in signing Donaldson. “Sources with knowledge of the negotiations say Donaldson has not appeared interested in signing with Minnesota, and the team has begun investigating other options.”

Minnesota never seemed like a very likely suitor for Donaldson as he is from the Alabama area and would presumably prefer to play a little closer to home.
