MINNEAPOLIS (AP) _ The Minnesota Twins have picked up their $12 million option on Nelson Cruz for next season.
The 39-year-old designated hitter agreed in January to a contract with a $14 million salary for 2019 and the club option. Cruz hit .311 with a team-high 41 homers and had 108 RBIs in 120 games. He spent two stints on the injured list for a wrist problem that led to a torn tendon.
