There has been "zero contact" between the Minnesota Twins and Joe Maddon since he opted out of his contract with the Tampa Bay Rays last week, according to a source.

Minnesota is still searching for a manager.

"There has been no contact — at all," the source emphasized.

Terry Ryan said hours after Maddon hit the market that he would do his "due diligence" on him. Ryan called the Maddon lightning bolt "a pretty big opt-out," adding the news "caught my eye."
