Minnesota says goodbye to Twins player Michael Cuddyer as he goes to the Rockies

It's a sad day for Minnesota Twins fans of Michael Cuddyer. It seems that now that (former) Twins player Michael Cuddyer has his own Twins, he doesn't need the Minnesota Twins anymore. His twin daughters were born on December 6, 2011, and on December 16, 2011, it was confirmed that Michael Cuddyer and the Colorado Rockies have agreed to a deal.

The Rockies Cuddyer deal is said to be worth about $31 million for a three-year free agent deal. Cuddyer has played on the Minnesota Twins team for his whole MLB career. He is a fan favorite, and very involved in the community. Michael Cuddyer was a first round draft pick in 1997. It's sad to see him go, but I wish him the best and would love to see him go on and get a ring for himself.

I long for the days when players would stay on one team for their whole career, it's hard to watch your favorites leave.

Good Luck, Cuddy, and maybe we'll see you in the playoffs!
