Designated hitter Nelson Cruz agreed to a one-year, $13 million deal with the Twins on Monday, according to ESPN's Jeff Passan.
Cruz, 40, has been among the American League's most productive hitter in recent seasons. He hit at least 37 home runs in six straight seasons from 2014-19. He continued his strong play with 16 home runs in 53 games last year. Cruz posted a .992 OPS last season (good for fourth in the AL), and his 169 OPS+ marked a career-high.
Minnesota has returned to prominence in the American League after a five-year playoff drought from 2012-16.
