Although Twins CEO Jim Pohlad would not discuss contract-extension negotiations with Joe Mauer, he did on Monday say that the Twins are opposed to giving out contracts with deferred compensation.
This could affect negotiations with Mauer, as the team must figure out a way to sign him long-term without crippling their budget. "There's a ton of real-life examples of that kind of thinking," Pohlad said. "It's either going to be somebody else's problem, or we'll worry about that later. And eventually you've got to worry about it. And at that point, when you've got to worry about it, it affects your current operation. So it's really not a good thing."

According to USA Today's Bob Nightengale, Joe Mauer "laughed" at Monday's reports that he had inked a 10-year contract extension with the Twins.
We've already deduced that those reports were false, but it is believed that some progress is being made on an long-term deal. Mauer, 26, hit .365/.444/.587 with a career-high 28 home runs and 96 RBI last season and is likely to land an annual salary worth well north of $20 million.

According to ESPN.com's Buster Olney, the reports of Joe Mauer's 10-year contract extension with the Twins are not accurate.
Olney cites multiple sources, including those close to the Twins, to refute a WCCO.com report. He Tweets: "The Twins remain optimistic that a deal will eventually get done, but a deal is not done yet." Stay tuned.

According to WCCO.com, the Twins and Joe Mauer have agreed to a 10-year contract extension.
Terms of the contract have not yet been announced, but it should be amongst the richest in baseball history. This is obviously great news for Twins fans and the organization, as Mauer is amongst the game's elite performers. The 26-year-old hit an incredible .365/.444/.587 in 2009 with a career-high 28 home runs and 96 RBI. He also won the American League MVP and a Gold Glove.

Sources tell Joe Christensen of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune that the Twins will soon sign Joe Mauer to a contract extension.
It sounds like they are making a lot of progress. Even better, separate sources tell Christensen that the deal's basic framework -- years and guaranteed money -- is already agreed upon, leaving only negotiations on deferred payments and other matters. For what it's worth, Christensen is confident that a deal is coming, writing that "it's a matter of when, not if." Fantastic news for Minnesota.

Twins manager Ron Gadrenhire told USA Today's Bob Nightengale Friday that contract extension discussions with Joe Mauer "couldn't be going better."
"It would be [a[ massive upset if Mauer['s] contract extension isn't resolved by spring," writes Nightengale. That's obviously great news for Twins fans and the organization. Mauer, 26, hit an incredible .365/.444/.587 in 2009 with a career-high 28 home runs and 96 RBI. He also won a Gold Glove.
