Souhan; Twins New Shortstop Is Solid on Defense [PODCAST] The Twins agreed to sign free agent shortstop Andrelton Simmons to a 1-year contract worth an estimated worth $10.5 Million. Star Tribune Sports columnist Jim Souhan joined me on WJON today. He says this signing allows the Twins to improve their defense at shortstop and at 2nd base with Jorge Polanco moving to that position. He says Luis Arraez moves to a super utility position where he could play 2nd or 3rd base and the outfield. Jim says the Twins are still looking to re-sign Nelson Cruz and expect Josh Donaldson to be healthy enough to handle the bulk of the starts at 3rd base.
