The Twins and free-agent infielder Nick Punto agreed to a two-year, $8.5 million deal, reports the Star-Tribune.

Last week, the Star-Tribune claimed the Mets and Phillies had expressed interest in Punto, who hit .284 with a .344 OBP in 99 games for the Twins last season, while playing second base, third base, shortstop and center field.
