It's official. Michael Cuddyer will not wear a Minnesota Twins uniform in 2012. As of today, Michael Cuddyer and the Colorado Rockies have agreed to a three-year, $31 million deal.Michael Cuddyer has been a Minnesota Twin since he was a first round draft pick on the Twins in 1997. The Twins signed Josh Willingham to a three-year, $21 million deal, and let Cuddyer go.
It's said by some that even though Cuddyer is a Twins fan favorite, Minnesota may have come out on top by not signing Cuddyer. The Minnesota Twins got Josh Willingham for a three-year contract at $21 million. This is less money then they could have paid to keep Cuddyer for someone with a similar batting average, etc and the Minnesota Twins get two draft picks. Hopefully this will end up being a step in the right direction for the Minnesota Twins to get back in the swing of things for a winning season in 2012. Lord knows Twins Territory needs a facelift and something big to happen to get Twins Fans back into the game of baseball.
Minnesota Twins tickets for the 2012 season are available now. Check with Ticket King, who always has great Minnesota Twins tickets available!
Good Luck, Cuddyer! You will be missed in Twins Territory!
