Twins are in on Ervin Santana
The Twins search for pitching continues in San Diego, home of the winter meetings.

The Twins have been in contact this week with Santana's agent and apparently are prepared to give up a second round pick as compensation if they can work out a deal.
Santana is expected to attract plenty of interest. He was 14-10 with a 3.95 ERA last season with the Braves and has a track record of being durable. He would definitely upgrade the Twins' rotation.
Other stuff
A Twins-Mets trade involving Dillon Gee doesn't appear likely.
A Twins-Angels trade for Eduardo Escobar doesn't appear likely either.
I'll check in later this morning.
