Twins' Miguel Sano: Sheds weight over break

Sano said he dropped 15 pounds this offseason, Mike Berardino of the Pioneer Press reports.

Analysis:

Sano made those comments at TwinsFest, which took place on the final weekend of January, so his fitness level may have changed since then, and it'll be interesting to see what his listed weight (currently 260 pounds) on MLB.com ends up being. It's encouraging to see that effort, either way. However, while removing extra mass may cut down on his strikeouts, fantasy owners shouldn't expect miracles. Sano, who turns 24 in May, remains a hacker who should be drafted primarily for his power, which could result in close to 40 home runs even with less bulk on his frame after he launched 25 in only 437 at-bats last year.
