Minnesota Twins owner Jim Pohlad says he's staying out of contract negotiations with catcher Joe Mauer.

Bedard rejoins Mariners with 1-year deal (AP)

FILE - In this June 2, 2009, file photo Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Erik Bedard(notes) throws during baseball game against the Baltimore Orioles in Seattle. A person with knowledge of negotiations told The Associated Press on  Thursday, Feb. 4, 2010, that Seattle and the oft-injured left-hander who cost the team five prospects in a 2008 trade are getting close to a one-year contract, pending a physical that could be tricky. The former Orioles ace has been in his native Canada doing rehabilitation following surgery in August on a torn labrum in his pitching shoulder.

Despite shoulder surgeries and disappointment in Seattle during each of the last two seasons, free-agent left-hander Erik Bedard is coming back to the Mariners. General manager Jack Zduriencik announced Saturday the team and the oft-injured 30-year-old agreed to a one-year contract with a mutual option for 2011.
