Top 10 Things Minnesota Twins Fans Will Wish For If They Catch a Leprechaun
It’s Saint Patrick’s Day, right? Everyone is keeping their eyes out for those leprechauns that are running around. The great thing is, if you catch one, you’ll get some wishes granted!
These are the top 10 things that Minnesota Twins fans plan on wishing for if they catch one of the little guys.
Somehow I don't think Twins fans will be wishing for cereal
- Joe Mauer will finally sign that contract
- Francisco Liriano will become the ace that we all expected him to be
- Joe Nathan will find out he just slept on his arm wrong, and everything is fine now
- We’ll realize that the Johann Santana trade was all just a dream
- Justin Morneau will break Barry Bond’s single season home run record
- Jim Thome will be responsible for the Twins beating the Whitesox
- Owner Jim Pohland will decide that he loves spending money on new players
- The Angles will call and offer a straight up trade — Jose Morales for Torri Hunter
- The hotdogs at the new stadium will be amazing

Would the Twins Trade Joe Mauer?
Yahoo Sports has a “rumor” posted that since contract talks between the Twins and Joe Mauer are proceeding slowly, the Twins are going to have to start contemplating the idea of trading him.
The logic makes sense… it’s the same process that the Twins went through with Johann Santana a few years ago. If the team can’t come to an agreement with Mauer, they really HAVE to trade him, otherwise they’ll lose him and get nothing in return.
The word is that the Twins are offering Mauer around $20 million a year to play, which is an insanely huge amount of money coming out of Minnesota. The other word is, though, that the Twins catcher wants $25 million.
This may be a “Captain Obvious” statement, but the Twins really need to get something done here. Joe Mauer is the biggest thing to hit Twins baseball since Kirby Puckett. He’s good for the team as far as winning goes, and he’s good for the team as far as drawing fans goes.
They need to get this done.
