Joe Mauer is Paid

Joe Mauer’s monster new contract begins this season and he’ll make a cool $23 million for his efforts. The more impressive notion is Mauer is doing so well with endorsement deals that he doesn’t even need to touch his MLB paychecks. Mauer’s new bi-weekly checks are worth $1.92 million a pop which means he will have a healthy savings account. On a side note, Mauer’s $23 million salary is only $11 million less than the Pirates payroll in 2010.
