The Twins have no plans to trade Michael Cuddyer this season even if they slip out of contention, according to a team source. The source added that Minnesota will make an effort to re-sign Cuddyer this winter. Cuddyer, 32, will be eligible for free agency this fall after making $10.5 million this season. The Braves, Phillies and Giants are among the teams who've had scouts see Cuddyer in recent weeks. He is batting .292 with 13 homers and 43 RBI. "I have no say or no control over [trades], so I feel like I've done a pretty good job of just being able to focus and go out and play," Cuddyer said. "Especially now that we're getting back into this thing, I'd like to think we're going to go after it. "When we were 20 games under [.500], and 16 1/2 out [of the division lead], it probably would have been a better question. But being only six games out, that's a deficit in the day and age of the unbalanced schedule that a team can overcome."
