The Twins gave their fans some good news Friday afternoon when they announced the signings of Justin Morneau and Michael Cuddyer to long-term deals. Mornea gets $80 million for a six year deal, Cuddyer is getting $23 million for three.
That's a good chunk of the Twins' offence, and they're likely going to need every run those guys can produce. This deal should also help allay some Twins' fans fears that the team was going to let all the young talent go. Add this to Joe Mauer's deal last year and the Twins have an offensive nucleus to build around for the next several years.
