Mauer gets paid!


The Twins signed Mauer to a reported 8 year, $184 million dollar contract extension today. I don't feel like linking anyone but Ken Rosenthal and Ed Price both tweeted about it.

Moving into a new stadium, signing a catcher to the biggest deal in team history...sounds familiar.

Sure, Mauer is much better than Kendall, even at the time, but he's been susceptible to injuries and only displayed great power last year. This seems like a contract that could be fine for a couple of seasons but might be a huge albatross at the end. Thoughts?
