Newsbreakers
November 24, 2009
The Minnesota Twins are rumored to be trying to lock-up 2009 American League MVP, and three-time AL batting champ, Joe Mauer to a long-term contract extension by Christmas, according to the
Our View:
It is going to take a gargantuan amount of money - the kind of money the Twins don't usually spend - to keep their native son, but both sides appear to want to get a deal done, and not retaining him long term in the Twin Cities would be a public relations disaster in a season in which the Twins will be opening a new stadium. It might not get done by Christmas, but it will get done.
November 23, 2009
In a near unanimous decision, Joe Mauer has been named the 2009 American League Most Valuable Player, according to
Our View:
After leading the AL in batting average (good for his third batting title), on-base percentage and slugging percentage, the Twins' dynamic catcher received 27-of-28 first place votes en route to his landslide victory. The only other first place vote went to Detroit's Miguel Cabrera. New York's Mark Teixeira placed second, while Derek Jeter was third. Cabrera was fourth.
October 29, 2009
Minnesota Twins' catcher Joe Mauer has been voted the AL's Most Oustanding Player by the Major League Baseball Players Association, according to the
Our View:
Mauer is in a tight race for AL MVP with the Yankees' Mark Teixeira, but apparently the players believe he was the best in his league. Mauer's .365 average was outstanding this season, not to mention he added 28 homers and 96 RBI.

Joe Christensen of the
Our View:
The injury sounds pretty minor, but any discomfort for Mauer has to be a concern for the Twins. He is a gamer who would not miss a playoff game for something like this, so expect him to be just fine for Game 3. If the injury gets too sore, Mauer could DH at some point if the series continues.
October 9, 2009
Joe Mauer went 2-for-4 and worked a pair of walks in the Twins 4-3, 11-inning loss to the Yankees on Friday night. They head home to Minnesota trailing 2-0 in the series.
Our View:
Mauer hit a ground-rule double down the line to lead off the 11th, but the ball was called foul when it was clearly fair. He mustered a single after it was called back, and the Twins ended up loading the bases with no one out, but failed to score. The Yankees won it on a solo homer by Mark Teixeira in the first at-bat of the bottom of the inning and the Twins have to be livid over the umpiring. Someone was looking out for the Bronx Bombers.
