Twins extended a one-year, $23.15 million qualifying offer to C Ryan Jeffers.

Jeffers will probably try to cash in with a long-term deal on the open market, but it wouldn’t be shocking to see him take the short-term payday and return for one final season in Minnesota. The 29-year-old backstop slashed a respectable .256/.353/.461 with 49 runs scored, 14 homers, 56 RBI and one steal in 368 plate appearances this past season. He’s a borderline mixed-league option for fantasy purposes at this stage of his career.
