Breaking news!?
Via CG (father of BG), via WCCO's Mark Rosen (which means it could be complete b.s.):

I think we can all agree that this would help close the final wounds from the Vikes' debacle.
Oh, and I thought this was pretty funny:

Apparently, it's total b.s. Joe Christensen, ESPN, everyone else saying not a done deal. The general feeling, however, is that if the base terms aren't done, they're awfully close. At this point, I can't hear the little voice in the back of my head saying "You know he'll be a Yankee. You know he'll be a Yankee. You know he'll be a Yankee" anymore. Let's hope we're not all heartbroken soon, though.
Let's also hope that if Buster Olney is right about this, then he's right about us right in the middle of Orlando Hudson talks, too. That was all the news earlier today. Seems like a great fit at 2B; hopefully we can deal Perkins, Casilla or someone to make room.

Once again, thanks to FTLOSBW for a sunny ray of hablamos beisbol americano.
I like it that Minnesotatwins.com is reporting it's a matter of "when" not "if. How great would that and a Hudson signing or something of the like make February (or as I call it "Shit Month".)

10 years? why not sign him for 100? i'd take a 124 year old joe mauer over a 22 year old tom nieto.
I know what you're going to say: "DTK, that's insane. It doesn't even make sense from a time-space perspective." Well, i'm just saying. I'm not willing to risk Carl Pohlad using his heaven money to build some crazy time machine to exact his revenge on the entire state for not kissing his balls and telling him they smelled like febreeze. That old, dead fuck would totally rub our faces in tom nieto coming back as a rookie just to haunt us. Are you really willing to take that chance? Belts and Suspenders. I want to open up the Star Tribune and see the headline:
"Twins Sign Mauer to Insane 100 Year Extension - AP to Stop Fumbling All The Time".
Then I will drink my coffee, finish my delicious, hot out of the oven pastry and hop onto my flying donkey named preston.

I thought you put Preston down after you found him eating all your hats. Glad to hear he is still alive and kicking (pun intended.)
