Twins manager Ron Gardenhire expressed optimism on Friday about re-signing catcher Joe Mauer. "I'm just letting it happen. I don't sit and fret about it," Gardenhire said. "I think the right thing is going to happen. I think we all know. I think we all know the ramifications if something were not to happen and it would go the other way. That wouldn't be a good thing for anybody. I don't see who, other than maybe some clubs out east." Mauer is making $12.5 million this season and the last year of his current contract.
