Twins to El Presidente: We're going to offer you one meeeelllion dollars!!!!

From the :

The Twins have made their first offer to pitcher Johan Santana: $19.5 million for three years. Industry sources say it could take as much as $48 million over four years to sign the Cy Young Award winner to a multiyear deal.

The first year of the Twins' offer is for $4.5 million, significantly less than the left-hander could win in salary arbitration. While the Twins want to sign Santana, 25, to a three-year deal, Santana is seeking a two-year or four-year contract.

The Twins are expected to make a four-year offer as early as today.
