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.
