La Velle E. Neal III of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune reports there’s been a lack of consistent contact between the Twins and free agent Nelson Cruz.
According to Neal III, the Twins made a one-year offer during the opening weeks of free agency, then pulled it off the table after a couple of weeks before making a second contract offer during the holidays that went nowhere. He also added that there hasn't been a lot of back-and-forth negotiating between the sides. The 40-year-old slugger is reportedly seeking a two-year contract after hitting .303/.397/.595 with 16 homers in 214 plate appearances last season. He’s still waiting for clarity on whether the National League will have the designated hitter in 2021 and beyond, as that could greatly affect his market, before making a decision this offseason.
