Ervin Santana Rumors: Saturday
11:04am:*The Rockies will **t sign Santana, Troy Renck of the Denver Post tweets (https://twitter.com/TroyRenck/status/442341103950241792).
10:53am:*The Blue Jays are "optimistic" about landing Santana, although they have **t yet reached an agreement with him, FOX Sports' Jon Morosi tweets (https://twitter.com/jonmorosi/status/442341161995624448).
9:08am:*The Blue Jays are willing to offer a deal in the $14MM range with ** incentives, Heyman writes. The Orioles may be a bit behind the Blue Jays. The Rockies, meanwhile, may be out of the bidding, as Heyman tweets (https://twitter.com/JonHeymanCBS/status/442315766621147136).
8:47am:*Santana is currently negotiating a deal near one year and $14MM with the Blue Jays, Orioles and one National League team, possibly the Rockies,*CBS Sports' Jon Heyman writes (http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/writer/jon-heyman/24472842/ervin-santana-talking-about-a-one-year-deal-with-jays-os-and-nl-club). Of those teams, the Jays and Orioles are the most likely to get Santana, who could pick a new team "in the next day or two."
8:05am:*Ervin Santana (http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/s/santaer01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.typepad.com) will sign a one-year, $14MM contract with an AL club, Dionisio Soldevila of ESPN Deportes tweets (https://twitter.com/dSoldevila/status/442285327085236224). That team is **t the Orioles, Roch Kubatko of MASNsports.com tweets (https://twitter.com/masnRoch/status/442302321721368576). The Royals have also recently indicated (http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2014/03/ervin-santana-seeks-to-sign-one-year-deal-before-opening-day.html) that they are ** longer pursuing Santana.
Last night, it was reported*that Santana had begun looking for a one-year deal, amidst further reports (http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2014/03/ervin-santanas-representation-currently-unsettled.html) about changes in his representation. AL clubs recently connected to Santana have included (http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2014/03/latest-on-ervin-santana.html) the Mariners, Rangers and Blue Jays.
$14MM would, of course, be very similar to the $14.1MM qualifying offer Santana rejected from the Royals. A $14MM deal would be a very disappointing result for a 31-year-old pitcher coming off a 3.24 ERA with 6.9 K/9 and 2/2 BB.9 in 211 innings. But Nelson Cruz (http://www.baseball-reference.com/player_search.cgi?results=cruzne01,cruzne02&utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.typepad.com)'s deal with the Orioles demonstrates what a severe effect the qualifying offer has had in depressing the salaries of certain free agents.
