Willingham Happy To Remain With Twins

Josh Willingham is glad the Minnesota Twins decided to pull him back off waivers without trading him.
The Twins were unable to work out a deal with the Baltimore Orioles before Friday's deadline.
Willingham will now remain with Minnesota through at least the end of this season. He is under contract for 2014 at $7 million.
"I'm just glad it's over," he said. "Now I know where I'm going to be."
Willingham said he knew a trade wasn't completed when he didn't hear anything from the Twins or his agent on Friday.
"I'm comfortable here so I'd like to stay here," Willingham said. " The bottom line is I didn't have any control so I didn't worry myself with it."
