Josh Willingham is on pace to set career highs in home runs and RBI. He hit 28 homers and drove in 98 runs with Oakland last year. His performance as the Twins best, and most clutch hitter will likely earn him a trip to the All-Star Game. All-Star rosters will be announced July 1st.

The Twins have reportedly reached an agreement with free-agent outfielder Josh Willingham. The Star Tribune says the deal is worth an estimated $21 million over three years. Members of the Twins organization have confirmed talks with Willingham's agents, but would not confirm a deal had been reached.

The Twins and utility player Ryan Doumit agreed to a two-year contract extension on Friday. He'll make $3.5 million in 2013 and 2014. Entering Friday night's game against the Royals, Doumit was hitting .271 with 7 homer and 32 RBI.

Even with Josh Willingham agreeing to a three-year deal worth $21-million, the Twins are still in contract talks with free-agent outfielder Michael Cuddyer. Nobody knows if Cuddyer will re-sign with the Twins, and the addition of Willingham has created a puzzling story.

The Twins reached a one-year, $3 million deal with Ryan Doumit. He'll DH and backup Joe Mauer at catcher as well as play in the outfield. He hit over .300 before his season was cut short after 77-games last year.

Ryan Doumit has passed his physical and he’s now an official member of the Minnesota Twins. Joe Mauer’s backup will make $3 million in the one-year deal.

Six runs in four losses isn't the start to the season the Twins had imagined, but utility man Ryan Doumit isn't worried. "Don't wake up the sleeping dragon, because once that happens ... hitting's contagious," Doumit said. "History suggests that we're going to wake up."
