A-Rod to the Twins doesn't make sense

August 12, 2016 at 12:39AM

ESPN's Buster Olney believes the Twins could be one of four possible matches for Alex Rodriguez if he continues playing. Here's why:

"They are going through growing pains in the aftermath of Torii Hunter's retirement last year, and maybe Rodriguez could help young players such as Miguel Sano and Byron Buxton make the transition into being successful big league hitters," Olney wrote.

Miami, Tampa Bay and Houston also made Olney's list of possible matches that could land Rodriguez in the next seven weeks or sometime during the offseason.

But numerous other questions aside, where would A-Rod fit in the Twins' lineup? They already have plenty of depth at the corners and several quality options to fill the designated hitter hole.
