Matt Guerrier, Twins Agree To Minor League Deal

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- The Minnesota Twins have brought back another player from their division title teams of the previous decade: Matt Guerrier.

The Twins announced Wednesday that Guerrier had agreed to a minor league contract and will attend big league spring training. The 35-year-old right-handed reliever had a 3.38 ERA in 472 innings with the Twins from 2004-10. They won the AL Central four times in that span.

Outfielder Jason Kubel and shortstop Jason Bartlett will also be in camp next month on minor league deals. Kubel played with Twins from 2004-11 and Bartlett from 2004-07.

Guerrier signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2011 as a free agent. He was traded to the Chicago Cubs last summer before a flexor tendon injury near his elbow ended his season and required surgery.
