Bronson Arroyo wearing a Twins uniform in 2014 is a possibility.
The Pioneer Press reports that the Twins “have discussed guarantee language” with Arroyo’s representatives at the MLB General Manager’s Meetings taking place this week in Florida.
Arroyo is fresh off a season with the Cincinnati Reds in which he finished 14-12 with a 3.79 earned-run average. He’s won 105 games with the Reds over the past eight seasons.
Only C.C. Sabathia and Dan Haren have thrown more innings than Arroyo (1,185 2/3) since 2005.
The Twins might have to pony up some cash if they want to sign the 37-year-old. Tim Dierkes of MLB Trade Rumors speculated back in September that Arroyo would be deserving of a contract somewhere along the lines of two-years and $24 million.
John Heyman of CBS Sports reported this week that the Twins are interested in an old friend — A.J. Pierzynski. Heyman believes the Twins would like to sign him to a one-year contract.
Pierzynski played for the Twins from 1998-2004. He’s a career .282 hitter with 172 home runs and 800 RBI.
UPDATED RUMORS
Agent Scott Boras says "we've got pretty good interest from variety of teams" inc Twins, on Mike Pelfrey. "He's been offered" multi-yr deal.
