PrintThe Twins bought out Baker's next four years for $15.25 million, plus $9.25 m option for 2013. buys out 3 arbitration years, plus 1 of FA plus option.
Good way to spend money. Will they look to lock anyone else up? Mauer, Liriano, Young? The problem is that many of their players have time left before arbitration, so their isn't much need. Mauer and Liriano are the obvious choices, but also the expensive ones. That should be about 75 words.

Actually
Baker wasn’t arb eligible for this year, so this buys out his last serf and 3 arb years only, with an option on his first FA season.
A reasonable deal for the Twins, I suppose. I don’t usually advocate committing to pitchers for a lot of years, but this shouldn’t hamstring them. Probably goes something like: 1, 3, 4.5, 6.75.
I was close
It’s $750,000 this year, then $3 million, $5 million and $6.5 million in 2012. There is no buyout for the option year.
