The Twins have filled one of their most obvious needs. Minnesota has agreed to a one-year, $7 million deal with a mutual option for 2027 with free-agent first baseman/designated hitter Josh Bell, according to sources on Monday.

The former Silver Slugger and All-Star is the Twins' first MLB signing of the offseason. Bell is well-removed from being the player who was included in the Juan Soto blockbuster trade between the San Diego Padres and Washington Nationals in 2022, but he still boasts some power and is inexpensive.

The Twins have officially revealed the details of their new limited partners, and the news comes with an announcement that a new Pohlad brother is taking over as the team's executive chair.

There are very few times when a Twins fan will be happy for another team, but this one is an exception. Caleb Thielbar, a soon-to-be 39-year-old reliever, re-signed with the Chicago Cubs on a one-year contract on Tuesday.
