The Minnesota Twins are “very interested” in re-signing 39-year-old Jim Thome for another year, according to the Pioneer Press.

Thome, who turns 40 this Friday, said in May that he’s had a good time in Minnesota and he would “love to stay.”

“It’s a great place, the people, the organization, the guys, the clubhouse. It’s been wonderful. I’ve had a blast.”

Thome is hitting .271/.294/.588 with 17 home runs and 44 RBIs this season for the Twins. He signed a one-year, $1.5 million deal over the winter to join the Twins.
