Twins Fix

Comcast Sports Network is reporting that Freddy Sanchez has signed a 2 year deal with the Giants. While perhaps not the most desirable option for the Twins to pursue at second base, he was one of the best second basemen available on the free agent market. His signing dries up the second base market a little bit. If the Twins are smart, they’ll address their second base issue quickly, before the market dries up and robs them of any negotiating leverage they’d have thanks to a deep second base free agent class. Of course, if the Twins do as expected and put all their efforts into re-signing Mauer before addressing any other needs, they will likely find themselves picking up scraps and possibly having to overpay.
