Nelson Cruz Reportedly Agrees to Contract with Twins After 4 Years with Mariners
Nelson Cruz will reportedly bring his power-packed stylings to Minnesota next season.
According to Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports, the 38-year-old agreed to terms on an undisclosed deal with the Twins on Thursday following four years with the Seattle Mariners.
Cruz signed a four-year, $57 million contract with the Mariners in advance of the 2015 season, and he cemented himself as a mainstay in the middle of their batting order upon arrival.
Over the last four seasons, Cruz has piled up 163 home runs and 414 RBI. Those numbers allowed him to secure three All-Star nods during that stretch. He also picked up his first two Silver Slugger honors thanks to standout efforts in 2015 and 2017.
