HBT: Twins, Zumaya agree to one-year deal

Forget about the Red Sox and Padres.

According to MLB.com?s Jason Beck, the Twins have signed reliever Joel Zumaya to a one-year contract that could be worth anywhere between $800,000 and $1.7 million, depending on the right-hander?s ability to hit certain performance incentives.

Zumaya missed all of the 2011 season due to elbow surgery and has topped the 40-inning plateau just once in his career, but he?s also been highly effective when healthy and touched the mid-90s with his fastball during a showcase workout last month for 20 MLB teams. If he can manage to avoid the disabled list, the deal could easily pay off for the Twins.

Zumaya, 27, had a 3.05 ERA in 209 2/3 innings with the Tigers before hitting the open market this winter.
