Cole Sands and the Minnesota Twins avoided arbitration and Sands agreed to a one-year deal worth $1.1 million.
Fantasy Impact
Sands pitched a career-high 69 games for the Twins last season and posted a 4.50 ERA in 72 innings. It was a down year from 2024 when he went 9-1 with a 3.28 ERA in 62 appearances.
