Free agent third baseman Josh Donaldson agreed to four-year deal with the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday, according to multiple reports.

The contract will be worth $92 million and includes a fifth-year option that could bring the value to $100 million, according to MLB.com, which reports this will be the second-largest contract given to a player age 33 or older. The record belongs to pitcher Kevin Brown, who signed a seven-year, $105 million deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers when he was 34.
