Joe Mauer News
Third baseman Adrian Beltre, catcher Joe Mauer and power-hitting first baseman Todd Helton were elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame on Tuesday, with both Beltre and Mauer getting in on their first ballot. Helton was elected on his sixth try. Beltre had 95.1% of the votes, Helton at 79.7%, and Mauer at 76.1%. Closer Billy Wagner (73.8%) fell just five votes shy and will have his last chance in 2025. Slugger Gary Sheffield (63.9%) didn't get the required support in his 10th and final ballot. Beltre is a member of the 400-homer club and was one of the best defensive third basemen of all time. Helton played his entire 17-year career with the Rockies and was a five-time All-Star and four-time Silver Slugger. Mauer was arguably the best catcher of his generation after being taken as the No. 1 overall pick in 2001. He was a six-time All-Star, five-time Silver Slugger and three-time batting champion.
Minnesota Twins first baseman Joe Mauer, who went 1-for-4 on Sunday in what could've been his final major league game, is still undecided on whether he will retire this offseason. "I'm not 100 percent sure [about retiring or not], and like I said, I want to make sure I have time just to take a deep breath and really be behind that decision. But I couldn't have asked for a better last day of the 2018 season, and I'm looking forward to just taking a breath and spending some time with my girls, my family, and we'll go from there. But with the emotions running right now, I don't want to say either way," Mauer said. Mauer has been a six-time All-Star, has won three batting titles and was the 2009 American League MVP. His .388 career on-base percentage is the sixth best in franchise history. He also has over 2,000 career hits and 1,000 career runs. It sure looks like this is the end for Mauer, who hit .282/.351/.379 with just six homer and 48 RBI in 486 at-bats in 2018.
Minnesota Twins first baseman Joe Mauer went 2-for-4 with two runs scored in his team's 4-2 loss to the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday. Mauer's two-hit game raises his season slash line to .278/.346/.375 with six homers, 57 runs, and 46 RBI in 461 at-bats. Mauer isn't providing much pop in fantasy but he gets on base frequently and has use in AL-only formats, especially OBP leagues. He will take on Tigers starter Matthew Boyd on Wednesday.
