FORT MYERS, Fla. -- For former American League MVP Award winner and six-time All-Star Joe Mauer, playing for his hometown Twins is all he has ever known.
This marks his 17th big league camp with Minnesota, but he heads into this season with uncertainty, as he's in the final year of his eight-year, $184 million contract. Mauer, 34, made it clear he can't see himself playing for any other club, and he believes he still has plenty left after putting up his best numbers in 2017 since sustaining his career-altering concussion in '13.
"I don't get too far ahead of myself," said Mauer, who insists it's not something he's thinking about.
