Santana Hopes to Stay

In response to recent rumors that Twins ace Johan Santana turned down a two year extension on the current two years remaining on his contract two things have become clear.


1. Johan Santana was not offered 18 Million annually for two years after his current contract

2. Johan Santana wants to finish his career in a Twins uniform.


Since Santana made it clear earlier that the earlier the Twins act, the better chance they have to sign him it seems strange that they haven't made a more concious effort. In light of recent contracts such as Barry Zito's which is good for 7 years and 126 Million, there are a lot of questions in the clubhouse about how the Twins, a historically low payroll team will be able to afford him.
