Minnesota Twins: Michael Pineda returns as Twins’ pitching makeover looks awfully familiar

The Minnesota Twins went into this offseason looking to overhaul their starting rotation, but so far, it looks a lot like the one the Twins went into the 2019 season with. After retaining Jake Odorizzi last month, the Twins retained another member of their staff by re-signing Michael Pineda to a two-year deal on Thursday night.

FOX 9 Minneapolis’ Pierre Noujaim was the first to report the news while Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports that Pineda’s contract will be worth $20 million pending a physical.

Pineda was an example of when a low-risk gamble turns out right as the Twins signed him prior to the 2018 season as he was rehabbing from Tommy John surgery.
