One day after losing his job with the Houston Astros to Miguel Tejada, shortstop Adam Everett has agreed to a one-year contract with the Minnesota Twins, according to major-league sources. The Astros declined to offer Everett a contract on Wednesday after acquiring Tejada from the Orioles for five players. The Twins have been seeking a shortstop since trading Jason Bartlett to the Tampa Bay Rays in the Delmon Young deal. Everett, considered one of the best defensive shortstops in the majors, missed more than three months last season with a fractured fibula, returning for three games in late September. The Orioles did not want him included in their deal for Tejada.
