Twins Looking For Outfielder, May Consider Donovan Solano Return

On Monday evening, the news Twins fans were waiting three months to hear finally happened: Jorge Polanco had been traded. In a five-player swap, Minnesota freed up approximately $6 million of salary, which should allow them to pursue help in other areas.

Jon Heyman speculated today that Donovan Solano might be in the mix. Other rumors have circulated that the Twins could pursue a low-cost designated hitter, perhaps Joey Votto or Carlos Santana.

What Heyman seems more sure about is that the Twins are looking for outfield help, probably in center field. With the oft-injured Byron Buxton perpetually a question mark, a backup center field option could be prudent.

Are we looking at a return of Michael A. Taylor in 2024?
