With the Twins and Nelson Cruz at a stalemate, Dan Hayes of The Athletic recently reported that the Twins have âchecked in on Kyle Schwarber, Adam Duvall and Michael Brantley. Yet, one of the best free agents available could be an even better fit than the previous three listed.

Understandably, the Twins are hesitant to give the aging slugger a multi-year deal as heâs also coming off three consecutive seasons dealing with various ailments. It was his ankle in 2018, his wrist in 2019, his knee in 2020, and as he is entering his 16th full major league season those should be some red flags for the Twins.
