The Pioneer Press says that Minnesota Twins’ manager Ron Gardenhire will get a new contract after the season. However, fans of Gardenhire shouldn’t expect the manager to agree to a new deal until he is assured that his coaching staff gets new deals as well.

Gardenhire, 52, has been the Twins manager since 2002 and has a 801-648 record in nine seasons in Minnesota. He has won 6 division titles (including 2010), but has never gotten past the ALCS (2002). Gardenhire signed a contract extension after the 2008 season that would take him through 2011.
