A person familiar with the negotiations says reliever Fernando Rodney and the Minnesota Twins have agreed to a $4.5 million, one-year contract.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity to The Associated Press because the agreement had not yet been announced.
Rodney turns 41 on March 18 and had 39 saves in 45 chances this year for Arizona. Matt Belisle closed for the Twins in the final two months of last season after Brandon Kintzler was traded to Washington.
