Twins Still Have Offer Out To Ervin Santana
The Twins still have an offer out to free agent starting pitcher Ervin Santana (http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/s/santaer01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.typepad.com), Mike Berardi** of the Pioneer Press writes (http://blogs.twincities.com/twins/2014/03/09/twinsights-twins-offer-to-ervin-santana-remains-on-the-table-source-says/). It's unclear how much the Twins' offer to Santana is worth. Berardi** **tes that, earlier in the offseason, the Twins offered Matt Garza (http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/g/garzama01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.typepad.com) three years and $42MM with a vesting option for a fourth year, although 1500ESPN.com's Darren Wolfson tweets (https://twitter.com/DarrenWolfson/status/442879187813007361) that the offer to Santana is significantly less. Earlier on Sunday, Jon Heyman of CBS Sports reported (http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/writer/jon-heyman/24475143/twins-enter-fray-but-jays-and-orioles-may-still-lead-the-ervin-derby) that the Twins had made a three-year deal to Santana, but that Santana preferred a one-year deal if he could **t get a deal in the four-year, $50MM range.
The Twins appear to be continuing to try to upgrade a rotation that struggled in 2013. They've already added Ricky **lasco (http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/n/**lasri01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.typepad.com) and Phil Hughes (http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/h/hugheph01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.typepad.com) on multiyear deals this offseason, while re-signing Mike Pelfrey (http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/p/pelfrmi01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.typepad.com) to a two-year deal. The Twins' top 2014 draft choice, **. 5 overall, is protected, so they would only have to give up the **. 46 overall pick if they signed Santana.
