According to the Associated Press, the Minnesota Twins and All Star catcher Joe Mauer have agreed to an eight-year, $184 million contract extension. The deal covers the 2011-2018 seasons and includes a full no-trade clause.

Kelly Theiser of MLB.com says that both Mauer and the Twins have agreed not to comment further on the deal until the press conference on Monday evening.
