MINNEAPOLIS — 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 American League 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.
