Johnny Cueto: Has talked to Minnesota

Cueto has talked to the Twins about the possibility of a one-year deal, sources told Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic.

Cueto remained a serviceable pitcher last season with a 4.08 ERA and a 6.1 percent walk rate mostly offsetting a 20.0 percent strikeout rate and 38.1 percent groundball rate. He'll likely find a job before spring training ends, but he may not be ready for the start of the regular season if he doesn't sign soon. Minnesota would appear to be a good fit since the Twins could use another veteran starter in their rotation.
