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.

Twins outfielder Josh Willingham is swinging a bigger bat than the player he replaced on the Minnesota roster, Michael Cuddyer. Willingham has eight homers and 25 RBI so far. Cuddyer, playing with Colorado, has four homers and 23 RBI.

Josh Willingham, Justin Morneau and Trevor Plouffe each homered to lead the Twins over the Royals, 10-7 last night in Kansas City. Ben Revere added three hits and a couple of RBI as well. The Twins are playing their best baseball of the season, having won six of their last seven games.
