That is a big factor and it's nice to see the Twins hang on to that. Hi Kris,

That’s $11.25 million a year from 2008-2011 with a $2 million buyout if the 2012 option isn’t picked up. (Don’t know if the 2012 option also is for $11.25 million or not). Nathan also gets a limited no-trade clause - he can pick three teams he can’t be traded to. It’s the same clause that was in his previous deal.</blockquote> La Velle E Neal III has an update on the Nathan signing reporting that…
