Joe Mauer isn’t just challenging for the fourth batting title of his career. He is doing so amid impending fatherhood and an upcoming move across town.

Maddie Mauer’s due date with the couple’s twins isn’t until Aug. 31, but there is a chance labor could be induced at any point after 35 weeks in the pregnancy. That point should fall around the last week of July, and the couple has spent plenty of time analyzing the Twins’ schedule to try to figure out the best time for the big event.

“Seems like we’re mostly on the road within the division around that time,” Mauer said of August trips to Kansas City, Chicago, Detroit and Cleveland.

The Twins are in Texas from Aug. 30 to Sept. 4. They are home for just four days from Aug. 18 to the end of the month, including an off day Aug. 26.

Another off day was sacrificed for a makeup game against the New York Mets on Aug. 19.

“Makes for an interesting summer,” Mauer said.

As for the move, Mauer joked that it is taking longer than it should as he peruses 10-plus years of keepsakes and other items in his former bachelor pad.

“I’ve been told I’m a hoarder,” he said.
