Also got this tweet from a Tampa Bay Rays beat writer:

So we are clear: Free agent 2B Orlando Hudson is close to signing a deal with the #Twins.

I am looking for the financial terms, but haven't found any yet.

Same here man, I haven't seen anything else yet. The Twins may have landed yet another defensive wiz, who is not to shabby with the bat either. I'm jealous. Trade Cabrera's?

Per Buster Olney:

Heard this: Hudson is closing in on a $5 million with the Twins.
Sounds like 1 year 5M

1 year deal at 5 million. It would be nice to offer a player like this an extra year to there deal. One year is never enough!

The deal includes a guarantee that the Twins will not offer him arbitration if he is a type-A free agent. Overall, it is a very good deal and he seems to be excited to play for the Twins.
