The Twins got more than a bargain for those two last season as Morneau made $385,000 as the AL MVP and Mauer made $400,000 as the AL batting champion.
How big of an increase their salaries will receive is yet to be determined. To give you an idea of what those two could (and should) make, here is a list of a few players' post-award season salaries. Inflation is inevitable.
- Albert Pujols: 2005: $11 million | 2006: $14 million
- Alex Rodriguez: 2005: $22 million | 2006: $25.6 million
- Miguel Tejada: 2002: $3.5 million | 2003: $5.1 million
- Vlad Guerrero: 2005: $12.5 million | 2006: $13.5 million

As long as we can keep them!! lol
I hope so! Seeing as Mauer is a Minnesota boy, I don't see him going anywhere. How could they possibly let either one of those two go? There's just no way. I hope.
