Unless Mauer regains his prior form he will be off the ballot the first year. He's declining rapidly and will probably retire with less than 50 WAR a 120 or so wRC+ and not that great on the counting stats either.
His collapse is pretty interesting really since 2014 he's only been a slightly above avg hitter and that doesn't hack it at 1b.
