MINNEAPOLIS — Byung Ho Park is making the move from South Korea to Minnesota to play for the Twins, and he's bringing his big bat with him.
Park agreed Tuesday to a $12 million, four-year contract with the Twins, who are looking to add power to their lineup around promising youngster Miguel Sano and veterans Trevor Plouffe and Brian Dozier.
The 29-year-old will get $2.75 million in each of the next two seasons and $3 million each in 2018 and '19. The Twins have a $6.5 million option for 2020 with a $500,000 buyout.
