VICENTE VÁSQUEZ ANATO | CARACAS Finally, the wait is over, Marwin Gonzalez signed a contract this Friday with the Minnesota Twins for two seasons and $ 21 million, according to journalist Jon Heyman.
The Venezuelan made a lot of noise in recent days, being linked to the organization of the Twins, San Francisco Giants and Chicago White Sox. However, it is the ninth twin that has won the grand prize by remaining with the criollo services, which should retain the role he has played for seven years with the Houston Astros, covering the four positions of the left garden.
According to reports, The Minnesota management expects the native of Puerto Ordaz to record about 500 appearances at the plate for the upcoming season. Moreover, although it is not his forte, the Venezuelan could play, sometimes, in the central and straight meadows of the ninth, if he needed it.
And although the organization has not yet formalized the contract, many journalists said that Mr. Gonzalez moved to the Twins training complex in Fort Myers yesterday to take all the medical exams.
Like this, Marwin becomes the fifth player to acquire the twin troop, joining the signatures of Nelson Cruz, Jonathan Schoop, Blake Parker and Creole Martín Pérez.
On top of that, the Twins are adding the eighth Venezuelan player to spring training, becoming the Major League team with the biggest presence of criollos on the spring fields. Marwin joins Willians Astudillo, Gabriel Moya, Ehire Adrianza, Arráez Luis, Ronald Torreyes, Tomás Telis and Pérez.
