Carew May Lose Interest In Twins Over Team Moves
Rod Carew, star for the Minnesota Twins, says he may quit playing for the club if President Calvin Griffith does not acquire pitching, especially a left-hander. He plans to play out his option after the contract ends in two years, though he values his three year pact near $200 000 per season. Carew nearly won a fifth straight batting title, losing to George Brett in Kansas City on the season’s final day.
