Twins center fielder Torii Hunter said Friday that he's not optimistic about the possibility of negotiating a contract extension with the Twins, in part because of one stipulation he would require.
"If we negotiate, I'm definitely going to get a no-trade clause, and I don't think they want that,'' Hunter said.
Hunter, 31, is signed through this season with a $12 million club option for next season remaining on the contract. The team and Hunter's representatives have not formally discussed an extension, but it's thought the team would require the five-time Gold Glove winner to scale back his salary in an extension, and he already has said publicly — repeating it again Friday — that he won't take a pay cut to stay.
