The Twins signed reliever Tim Wood to a minor league deal with a Spring Training invite, MLBTR has learned. Wood, who turns 30 later this month, spent 2012 with the Pirates' Triple-A affiliate. The hard-throwing righty posted 21 saves with a 2.19 ERA, 8.6 K/9, 3.0 BB/9, and 0.39 HR/9 in 70 innings, earning a recognition as the International League's best reliever by Baseball America. He's represented by Jonathan Maurer.
