According to MLB.com’s Kelly Thesier, the Twins are in contract discussions with Casey Blake and his agent.
Blake’s agent, Jim McDowell, said he received the “framework of an offer from the Twins” that they’ll work on in more detail.
Blake, who hit .274/.345/.463 last year with the Indians and Dodgers, has had seven teams express interest in him, according to Thesier.
La Velle Neal heard rumblings that the Twins could make a formal offer as early as next week.
