There is a chance that Jim Thome could return for another tenure with the Twins.

Minnesota had a conversation with Thome's camp about a month ago, according to a person with knowledge of discussions. Those talks could pick up again.

Thome, 42, played 179 games with the Twins from the start of the 2010 season through August of 2011, batting .266 with 37 homers and 99 RBI.
