Torii Hunter tells the Twins what it will take to keep him in a Twins uniform.

Says Torii: "I already don't like the Dome, so I'm not going to get used. It's got to be a long-term deal. For me to be here it's got to be five or six years."

Five or six years.  For Hunter.  Says Top Jimmy:

Hunter is making $10.75 million this year. The Twins have an option to keep him for 2007 at $12 million.

The Yankees signed center fielder Johnny Damon for five years at $55 million last offseason, and that might provide a benchmark for Hunter's expectations.

With Mauer, Morneau, Cuddyer, Santana, Liriano and Nathan all expected to make big money over that time, I can't see any way the Twins could possibly agree to that kind of contract.
