That's awesome. Keeping top-flight talent out of NY/Boston and with a team that deserves his ability is a rare thing these days... maybe more small-market teams can look at deals like this one and realize taht nothing is impossible if they prove they want to win. Congrats Joe... wish you weren't in the AL Central though! :)

 

Wow!

 

Good signing by the Twins. Now Mauer will be a Twin the rest of his career.

 

Probobly not........He is young enough to get one more big contract

 

Good for Mauer, that kid is incredible!

 

If the Twins let Mauer go elsewhere when his contract is up, they are crazy now of days.

 

Worth every dime.

 

great for mauer and the twins, even better for baseball.

 

Yup, agreed.
