Minneapolis, MN (Sports Network) - The Minnesota Twins have won the right to negotiate with Japanese infielder Tsuyoshi Nishioka, according to a story on MLB.com.
The sides have 30 days to work out a deal, the story said, or else the Twins' posting fee will be returned.
Nishioka, 26, is a switch-hitting middle infielder who led Nippon Professional Baseball last season with a .346 batting average. He also helped the Chiba Lotte Marines to the Japan Series title.
Nishioka played for Japan when it won the inaugural World Baseball Classic in 2006.
