MINNEAPOLIS -- The Minnesota Twins and versatile catcher Ryan Doumit reportedly agreed Friday a one-year, $3 million contract.
Matt Sosnick, an agent for the Moses Lake native, confirmed the deal was done. The Twins declined to comment.
Doumit is a career .271 hitter who can also play first base and right field, skills that fit well with what the Twins are seeking this offseason. One of their priorities was a backup for catcher Joe Mauer after Drew Butera and Rene Rivera struggled to hit last season. Butera batted .167 in 234 at-bats and Rivera hit .144 in 104 at-bats.
