Today 09:45 PMBULBUS....of all time?????


What the...?? Why would he not raise the bar from prior contracts offered?

[ironmanfan]

good for the Twins and baseball in general if this turns out to be true

Agreed, Bill...if this is accurate, it's gratifying to see that, with Mauer and the Twins, loyalty is a 2-way street.!

Mauer wouldn't raise the bar from prior contracts offered because he has class. He has been quoted as saying that he is not looking to break the bank. He just wants to play baseball with the team he grew up loving and idolizing. Joe Mauer may be one of the last gems in baseball in this regard. Sure, he will be paid millions. But will it be Arod or Jeter millions? Probably not. The Twins can't afford that! But Jeter and Arod are overpayed in my opinion....no one should be paid those amounts to play a game.

Glad to see mauer is staying in minnesota

I would agree that he has always displayed class and humility. I am saying he would probably have received record setting offers. He certainly would not have to take them, as I am sure no one here would sign one either, right?
