    Joe Mauer Signing With Twins . . .

    I think I heard it right that Joe Mauer signed 4 years with the Twins for something like 33 million. Anybody else hear of this?

    Yeah, it's being reported all over the place now.

    MINNEAPOLIS -- AL batting champion Joe Mauer and the Twins agreed Sunday to a $33 million, four-year contract, avoiding salary arbitration and giving one of the team's young stars the security of a long-term deal.

    The 23-year-old catcher hit .347 with 84 RBI last year to help the Twins rally from a 12½-game deficit to win the AL Central on the final day of the regular season. He played in his first All-Star Game last summer.
