Press Release: Muehe Signs Lifetime Contract

Aaron Nyquist, President and Chief of Interpersonal Relations at the Nyquist Organization, announced today that he has signed Kathryn (“Kate”) Muehe to a lifetime contract, effective from the 2013 season.  A verbal agreement was reached on August 1, 2012.  The deal, which includes a full no-trade clause, will be made official at an October 5, 2013 press conference.  Time and location will be revealed in a forthcoming release.

Muehe, 26, has been with the Nyquist organization since the start of the 2011 season.  She will retain her position as Climate Change and Health Impact Communications Specialist at the Minnesota Department of Health, and will bring with her an above-average degree of preparedness for even the slightest emergency situation.  In 2011, Muehe batted 1.000 in completing marathons with a broken leg, and equaled that mark in recounting the event to her many admirers and well-wishers.  A champion conversationalist, in 2011 Muehe broke what was believed to be a world record by speaking for 72 straight hours.  

“I am very pleased to welcome Kate to the Nyquist Organization in a more permanent role, and am looking forward to a long and productive relationship,” said Nyquist.  “Kate has been an integral part of this organization for the past year and a half, and I am very happy that she has committed to this lifetime contract.  I am positive that Kate will bring a measure of balance to the Nyquist organization, which has long been noted for its patience, reserve, and laid back philosophy.”  Nyquist concluded by stating, "Going forward, I am looking forward to hearing Kate's input on important team matters, and once I find the verbal space, engaging in a fruitful discussion."

As per team policy, exact terms of the contract were not immediately available.   It is believed that agreement occurred after both parties looked with approval at the working relationship formed throughout the 2011-2012 seasons.  No large scale on-field incidents were recorded, although reports surfaced that while Muehe prefers the direct communication of the bullpen phone, Nyquist is more apt to rely on the traditional series of non-verbal signals.  The details surrounding Muehe's cat were reportedly hotly contested, but it is believed that Nyquist made significant concessions with respect to the feline.

Muehe is a lifelong resident of the Twin Cities metropolitan area, and currently resides in St. Paul.  Prior to her joining the Nyquist Organization, she received a bachelor of arts degree in political science from North Dakota State University in 2008 and a Masters of Public Health from the University of Minnesota in 2010.  

The Nyquist Organization is privately held and 100% owned by Aaron Nyquist.  Nyquist is also a lifelong resident of the Twin Cities metropolitan area, and is currently based out of Minneapolis.  When not overseeing the on field activities of the Organization, Nyquist is an intellectual property attorney.  He received a bachelor of arts in history from Luther College in 2008, and a juris doctor from Hamline University School of Law in 2011.
