The Twins and Joe Mauer have agreed to a 4 year $33 million deal and avoided an arbitration hearing in which Mauer was asking for $4.5 million and the Twins were offering $3.3 million. At first glance, a little over $8 million per year seems like a steal for the Twins. However, when you consider that Mauer would've been eligible for free agency in only one of those four years it starts to look like a fair deal for both sides.
