As far as baseball extensions go, even “good deals” sometimes aren’t good deals. And som...4461Wed, 02 Mar 2016 17:40:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/should-any-of-the-twins-get-a-salvador-perez-type-extension-the-first-one-r4462/Yesterday, the Royals gave their star catcher/packmule/perpetual-thorn-in-the-Twins’-side Salvador Perez a five year contract extension through 2021.
