My guess is (only hypothetical though)...

Morneau really likes playing in Minnesota and realizes that he is on a team with a limited budget. He was willing to sign the relatively small contract to stay where he is and to allow the Twins to have more cash for free agents. If I am right, I think it is a really classy move by a guy who could easily fetch 10 mil a year with almost any other team.
