La Velle E. Neal III at the Minneapolis Star-Tribune writes that if Johan Santana is traded, Twins closer Joe Nathan could follow.
There are indications from some club officials that if Santana is dealt, they also might look to move closer Joe Nathan, who will make $6 million in 2008.
Nathan and Santana are both eligible to become free agents after 2008. Nathan converted 37 of his 41 save opportunities in 2007, while going 4-2 with a 1.88 ERA in 68 appearances.
