Ervin Santana now seeking a one-year deal (Braves close to a deal)

[scOtt]

"Are the Orioles in on Ervin Santana? Along w/Blue Jays and Yankees, they seem best suited to give up a draft pick."

They seem. Pure speculation. I don't think DD is interested one iota.

[DrinkinWithFermi]

If it's a 1 year deal, how does it affect a Hardy extension?

Money spent is money spent.

That would contradict everything reported by the beat reporters.

EXACTLY! A marginal upgrade at best. I'd rather stand pat with Norris locked up team controlled till 2015.

6.5 innings/start over 30 starts is extremely valuable when Chen/Gonzalez/Jimenez/Norris will be lucky to be around 6. Tillman and Santana would help save the pen.

Norris won't be starting for the O's in 2015, so team control next season isn't that important.

Jays have perfect opportunity to land Santana.

The Orioles are the perfect team for him. We know the reasons and I think Dave Wallace could be a factor. Ervin knows our recent additions and I would bet Jimenez, Cruz and Gonzalez have been trying to sell him on our organization.

Jays have perfect opportunity to land Santana.

Their ownership does not appear to be interested in adding payroll after last season's debacle.

Maybe AA can talk them into it.

I can see why. That group is going to need to be blown up soon.

How come you only posted one of these? Roch tweeted it three times in a row, I guess for emphasis. (or incompetence)
