Mark Rosen (WCCO) reports the Minnesota Twins and catcher Joe Mauer have come to a preliminary agreement on a 10-year contract, according to a source.
Buster Olney (ESPN) via Twitter reported that “Multiple sources now saying that the (WCCO) report on a preliminary agreement for Mauer is not accurate.”
The updated WCCO article acknowledges the contradicting report, but “reaffirmed that the framework of a 10-year agreement had been reached.”
If Rosen stands by his report, we believe him.
