Twins
Still Have Offer Out To
Ervin Santana
The
Twins Still Have an
Offer out to free agent starting pitcher
Ervin Santana,
Mike Berardi** of the Pioneer Press writes. It's unclear how much the Twins'
Offer to
Santana is worth. Berardi** **tes that, earlier in the offseason, the
Twins offered
Matt Garza three years and $42MM with a vesting option for a fourth year, although 1500ESPN.com's Darren Wolfson
tweets that the
Offer to
Santana is significantly less. Earlier on Sunday,
Jon Heyman of CBS Sports reported 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 and
Phil Hughes on multiyear deals this offseason, while re-signing
Mike Pelfrey 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.
