Twins working on deal with Mauer: Minnesota Twins owner Jim Pohlad says he's staying out of contract negotiations with catcher Joe Mauer. Pohlad declined Monday to discuss specifics or confirm the team is talking about a long-term extension for the AL MVP. Pohlad said the Twins simply want to have Mauer in uniform. First baseman Justin Morneau's six-year contract is the longest in team history. Pohlad says he doesn't see six as a "magic number" for length of a deal, when asked about his potential willingness to approve a longer contract for Mauer. Pohlad met with local reporters in a Target Field conference room overlooking the new ballpark that will open in April.

Fantasy Analysis
Mauer will be eligible for free agency in the fall if no new deal is in place, a scenario that wouldn't bode well for the Twins given the interest the soon-to-be-27-year-old would attract on the open market. Consider him a must-have catcher in all leagues and a likely first-round pick. He might even go in the top 5 overall, a rarity for a Fantasy catcher. The fact he is in his prime and playing for a huge contract extension make him that much more motivated to have another great year like 2009.
