From the Strib:

Infielder Juan Castro and the Minnesota Twins agreed Tuesday to a $2.05 million, two-year contract.

Castro, 32, hit .244 with 21 doubles, two triples, five homers, 26 RBIs in 299 at-bats over 111 games for Cincinnati last season. Castro started 35 at third base, 21 at shortstop, seven at second base and three at first base.

An eight-year veteran who is considered a strong fielder, Castro became attractive to the Twins when shortstop Cristian Guzman signed with Washington last week. Castro will fight for playing time at the position with Jason Bartlett, Nick Punto, Augie Ojeda and possibly Luis Rivas.
