The 16-year veteran free-agent outfielder is returning to his roots. "You talk about true love,'' Hunter told the Minneapolis Star Tribune.”That's the Twins right there.''

Hunter, after playing five seasons for the Los Angeles Angels and two with the Detroit Tigers, has agreed to a one-year, $10.5 million deal with the Twins. The Texas Rangers and Baltimore Orioles were also reportedly in the running for Hunter.

Hunter, 39, played his first full season for the Twins in 1999. He has made five All-Star appearances and won nine Gold Glove Awards and two Silver Slugger Awards. He is a career .279 hitter with 331 homers and 1,310 RBIs. Hunter became a star with the Twins before signing a $90 million, five-year contract with the Angels after the 2007 season. He then signed a $26 million, two-year deal with Detroit.
