MLB Immaculate Grid Answers August 17: Which Twins players have also won MVP?

Minnesota Twins Hall of Famer Joe Mauer remains the last player from the franchise to win the MVP award. Mauer spent the entirety of his fourteen-year-long major league career with the Twins.

In 2009, Mauer became the first catcher to lead the league in batting average, on-base percentage and slugging percentage simultaneously. He won the AL MVP crown that year in what was a near-unanimous decision.

Former first baseman Justin Morneau, also a Twins Hall of Famer, won the AL MVP title in 2006. He also won the Home Run Derby in 2008, becoming the first ever Canadian to do so.

Mauer and Morneau are the only two players who have won the AL MVP title while representing the Twins this century. Other possible answers for this particular intersection of today’s MLB Immaculate Grid include:
