Twins win the Josh Donaldson sweepstakes

The Minnesota Twins have found their new third baseman.

The team announced that they have signed highly-touted free agent infielder Josh Donaldson to a four-year, $92 million contract with a fifth year club option worth $16 million.

The 34-year old had a bounce back season with the Atlanta Braves in 2019, posting a .259 batting average, .379 on-base percentage, 37 homers, and 94 RBI in 155 games.

The 2015 American League Most Valuable Player had a handful of suitors rumoured to be after his services, including the Braves, and World Series champion Washington Nationals.

Donaldson, who will be entering his 10th season, has a career .373/.464/.819 slash line with 10 homers in 22 career games at Target Field.
