Brian Dozier making contract progress
We have been discussing the importance of Brian Dozier to the Minnesota Twins for much of the offseason. While guys like Jedd Gyorko and Jason Kipnis have received their paydays, Dozier is still awaiting his. Mike Berardino reported that Dozier had agreed to a new salary for the 2015 season, but that contract talks are progressing.
#MNTwins 2B Brian Dozier will make $590,000 in 2015. That agreement is in place, source said.

Looking at the future terms that Dozier could end up agreeing to, the Twins should be expecting to ink their starting second basemen to a four or five-year deal. Arguably better than both aforementioned players, any deal south of $50 million would be a fair offer to both sides. We looked into Berardino’s report in regards to the contract situation a bit further as well.
We were able to further break down our thoughts in regards to Dozier’s peers and the money he should be offered. Check it out here.
