The Twins and Joe Mauer are reportedly discussing a four-year, $33 million contract.

 

That sounds about right. We guessed $32 million for four years or $45 million for five when talks started up back in December. Mauer has three years of arbitration remaining, so a four-year deal would take care of his first year of free agency. He asked for $4.5 million and was offered $3.3 million for 2007.
