Joe Mauer Signs Contract Extension

[JesRey]

Of course, but even the great catchers like Piazza/Pudge Rodriguez broke down at the end of there careers,

I'm just saying I think they're investing to much money into the deal, give him a 5 year deal with some sort of incentives where if he meats those, theres another 5 year deal that gets kicked into place

They never hit like Joe Mauer did, and Piazza broke down because he was a National League guy, he couldn't be a DH. He had to play the field if he wanted to hit.

I think that both parties worked out great on this deal.. The Twins get their local hometown hero star and Mauer gets to stay home and play in his home town and make some solid money.. So maybe he's not getting A-Rod money, but once you get to a certain amount of money, really what's the difference

Now Mauer is saying that the rumors to this contract are false, but the article still say it is true lol

[gladdyontherise]

Rumors may be untrue because he wants more money?

It's just baseball contract jibber jabber.. he says it's a rumor this one says its not.. its all just talk.. ultimately I think a deal will be made
