DENVER, Dec. 16 (UPI) -- Free-agent outfielder Michael Cuddyer, who has spent his entire career with the Minnesota Twins, is reportedly joining the Colorado Rockies.

Cuddyer, 32, has agree to a three-year contract. The Denver Post said the deal was worth $30 million while mlb.com cited sources as saying it totaled $31.5 million.

Cuddyer hit .284 with 20 home runs and 79 runs batted in for Minnesota last season.

Over 11 seasons -- all with the Twins -- Cuddyer has hit .272 with 141 home runs and 580 RBI. Nearly half of the home runs have come in the last three seasons. He was an American League All-Star team selection in 2011.
