BONITA SPRINGS, Fla. -- Speaking at Grapefruit League media day on Friday, Twins general manager Terry Ryan and manager Paul Molitor said they were both unaware that Joe Mauer had been dealing with vision problems at the plate since suffering his concussion in 2013.
Mauer, who has seen his offensive production decline since the injury, told the St. Paul Pioneer Press last week that he's had times where he's had trouble picking up the ball at the plate since suffering the concussion, especially during day games. He also plans on wearing sunglasses at the plate to help remedy the problem.
