Twins Negotiating 10-year Contract With Mauer?

When Minnesota Twins’ GM Bill Smith said he’s confident the Twins would be able to sign catcher Joe Mauer to a long-term deal, I wasn’t expecting a 10-year deal.

Mark Rosen (WCCO) said on KFAN radio the Twins and Mauer are currently negotiating a 10-year contract.  This update came from Twins’ blogger John Bonnes (aka Twins Geek) via his Twitter.

Unfortunately, we have no further information about the negotiations.  We will update as soon as we get more information.

“10 years?!? I’m speechless,” Bonnes said via Twitter.  “I’m without speech.”

We are too… but happy.
