[bwitty24]

I do not have espn insider but saw this title on ESPN. Can anyone shed light on what the article was about regarding Mauer in Pinstripes?

I would assume they mean if/when he becomes a FA.

Buster's blog is down but I'll give you the highlights when its back up

Article talks about how Mauer will be in a bidding war in 2010 between the Red Sox and Yankees

But thats if he gets there, his agent Ron Shapiro was also the agent for Cal Ripken Jr and Kriby Puckett, 2 players who stayed with the same team for their whole career

Also, someone else may pay him. Shocking, it's true.

The Mets could use a Catcher....

...Who am I kidding, they'll sign Greg Zaun to a 6 year deal.

I highly doubt that he end up anywhere but MIN, BOS, NYY in that order.

Right, because those LA and Chicago teams never spend money.

Thanks CJ.

LAD has martin, LAA has Napoli, CHC have Soto, and the White Sox won't spend 18+ mil on a player cause they have never done it

[HollywoodLeo]

You think the Angels would pass on Mauer because they have Napoli?

[ljshorty89]

Thanks for ignoring the Mets. They need a Catcher and have money....

[cjkalt]

What money? You can't even afford Pedro at 5 mil prorated

[HollywoodLeo]

Is it they can't afford him or that they don't want him at that money?
