MINNEAPOLIS -- Torii Hunter will be back with the Minnesota Twins for at least one more year. Beyond that, it's tough to tell.

The Twins picked up their 2007 option on Hunter's contract Tuesday, and his $12 million salary will be the largest single-season sum in team history.

The five-time Gold Glove award winner wants to stay with Minnesota longer than that, but if his deal isn't extended by the spring, he sounded resigned to leaving as a free agent next year.

I'd rather pay someone who could make diving catches in the clutch for $12M a year!

I wouldn't be surprised to see them trade Hunter at some point over the next year.
