The Minnesota Twins and third baseman Josh Donaldson have finalized their four-year, $92 million contract.

That’s the richest in team history for a free agent. Donaldson agreed last week to the deal that includes a club option for a fifth season.

The Kansas City Royals signed outfielder Alex Gordon to a $4 million contract for next season. The move gives the rebuilding club a veteran presence in what is expected to be a young lineup under new manager Mike Matheny.

The Royals designated right-hander Heath Fillmyer for assignment in a corresponding roster move.
