4:15pm: The Angels get Brandon Sisk in the deal, Jon Paul Morosi of FOX
Sports reports (on Twitter).
3:54pm: The Royals have acquired Ervin Santana from the Angels, Ken Rosenthal
of FOX Sports reports (on Twitter). It's not yet clear what the Angels are
obtaining in return for Santana.
The Angels had limited interest in exercising Santana's 2013 option, but the
Royals appear to consider it reasonable. The Royals will presumably exercise
Santana's $13MM option instead of paying him a $1MM buyout. The Royals
quietly checked in on Santana's medicals yesterday before completing the deal
today, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports (on Twitter).
The 29-year-old posted a 5.16 ERA with 6.7 K/9, 3.1 BB/9 and a 43.2% ground
ball rate in 178 innings this past season. Santana's average fastball
velocity declined to 91.7 mph, but his swinging strike rate remained constant
at 8.4%. He had completed at least 220 innings with ERAs below 4.00 in 2010
and 2011. Rosenthal reported late last night that the Angels are trying to
move Santana and Dan Haren.
The Royals began the offseason with a clear need for starting pitching. So
far they have traded for Santana and claimed Chris Volstad. Volstad remains a
non-tender candidate, but Santana will join Bruce Chen, Luis Mendoza, Felipe
Paulino and Danny Duffy in the team's projected 2013 rotation. It won't be
surprising if GM Dayton Moore continues pursuing starting pitching.
