After having somewhat of a quiet offseason, the Twins might have just made their biggest signing of the winter. Yesterday the Twins and veteran slugger Nelson Cruz agreed to a 1-year deal worth $14.3 million. The Twins had also agreed to terms with infielders Jonathan Schoop and Ronald Torreyes and claimed C.J. Cron off waivers from the Rays earlier in the offseason. While to some these signing might be very underwhelming, you also have to take into consideration that at the time of this article being published it is only December and there is still plenty of time before opening day. With the absurd amount of money the Twins are able to spend, here are a few predictions of the next free agents they might sign.

3 – Cody Allen

Thirty-year-old Cody Allen was the Cleveland Indians’ franchise leader in saves and is now a free agent for the first time in his career. While having a very impressive career, he struggled mightily in his contract year. But he’s also a very good bet to have a bounce back season in 2019. With the Twins needing an established closer and Derick Falvey’s past connections with the Indians, Cody Allen and the Twins could be a very good fit in 2019 and possibly beyond.

Prediction: Two years, 16MM.

2 – Gio Gonzalez

Like Cody Allen, Gio Gonzalez struggled in his contract year. He had a record of 10-11 with an ERA of 4.21 but after being traded from Washington to Milwaukee towards the end of the season he started to heat up, going 3-0 with an ERA of 2.13. As of now the Twins have a rotation of Jose Berrios, Kyle Gibson and Jake Odorizzi and after that it’s really uncertain who will make up the rest of the rotation. Can Adalberto Mejia and Michael Pineda stay healthy and produce? With that in question, Gio Gonzalez could slot in to that 3rd spot behind Kyle Gibson and fit in nicely.

Prediction: 3 years, 36MM.

1 – Kelvin Herrera

Kelvin Herrera is a hard throwing right-hander with closing experience. With the Twins still in need of top-end arms Herrera could prove to be a nice upgrade. Herrera also has postseason experience and has been absolutely dominant in those outings and that’s something the Twins don’t have much of. One thing the Twins should definitely consider is his injury history. Lisfranc injuries are one thing that is extremely difficult to put a definite timeline on. Herrera could be good to go on opening day, or he could miss the first half of the season. The shoulder issues are not a thing you should take lightly, and they’re definitely something to consider.

Prediction: 1 year, 9MM.
