Twins' Ervin Santana clears trade waivers
Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Ervin Santana has cleared trade waivers according to Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press.
There are likely several teams now scrambling to work out a deal with the Twins before August 31st, which is the final day a player can be added to a potential postseason roster. Santana has been surging as of late, posting 11 straight quality starts with a 1.79 ERA over that same stretch. The only tricky part to a potential trade is the $28 million left on Santana's contract.
Since getting hot in late June, Santana has lowered his ERA to 3.33 with a 1.19 WHIP across 140 2/3 innings pitched this season. His ERA might be a bit misleading however, because he also has a 4.21 xFIP.
