MLB: Where will Joe Mauer play in 2011?

Guy will be 27 and still in his prime next offseason. 1 MVP, 3 batting titles, plays the most demanding position in the game and is consider a leader and character guy. He is due a Mark Teixiera-esque type of contract. But from what team will he get it?

I would think the Yanks. He comes in as Posada goes out and they got the money. But they got Montero, but he could be very nice trade bait for something. But he's from Minnesota. If they'd be willing to pay, even a little bit less, he could stay there, at home.

i have a hunch he's gonna be the exception to the small market rule and stay with Minn

I would say the Yankees because they have tons of money and Posada is on the decline. Also, they seem to sign the big names lately so...

The Yankees will get him

Myself and the other fans will treat him well

I'd love to get him to the Sox as this is Victor's last year. I think he'll stay in Minnesota though

Not really, the Twins have one of the best farm systems they'll bring up good players, they don't need 1 guy to sell tickets like some other clubs. X360PS3AMD05

Who knows for sure, but I think he'll end up playing for the yankees. They'll probably be one of a few teams that will give him top dollar. Not sure how many players can say they'll give up $$$ and a great chance to make the playoffs/world series.

Ask the yankees and mets about their new stadium. Elite players bring in ticket sales--people want to see the A-Rods, Roy Halladay pitching, etc... You're not gonna fill stadium seats with farm players. This is why everywhere the Yankees play, ticket sales are up. [QUOTE="X360PS3AMD05"][QUOTE="feryl06"]feryl06

If/when he goes to the BoSox, I will cry in joy and cry some more!Mister__Awesome

I don't see why the BoSox won't try and keep Victor Martinez though. The guy is a stud! I really think the Spankees will get him (even though I don't want them to) because they will really need him then and will throw all kinds of money at him.

He'll remain a Twin.

Erm, perhaps Mauer will realize the Yankees are the Empire and will lead him to hate them especially after this past postseason so by a fluke the Red Sox entice him enough to come to the beautiful town of Boston :) Like a wise man wearing number 5 in 2007 said, "ANYTHING IS POSSIBLLEEEEEE"
