No, it's no different than signing a pitcher to a six year deal then he blows out his elbow. The Twins have seen enough concussions so I doubt the Twins tried to force him to catch

It is a brain injury.

If the Twins were to go that direction with a player, no one would sign a contract to play here. They wouldn't be able to spend the recovered money in the free agent market.

I'd be surprised if the contract even mentions a position. He signed a contract to play baseball.

He is worth way less as a position player. // I am way willing to see Joe finish his playing days elsewhere.

I don't think too many teams are lining up to trade for an average 1B with a huge contract and a rough injury history.

I hadn't heard it was Mauer's decision to move to first. At the time it was said that the team asked Mauer to move for health concerns.

I wish it would void his contract.

This is what happened.

Is this a serious thread?
