GUESS WHO JUST SIGNED ERVIN SANTANA?

Apparently the Atlanta Braves swooped in to snag Ervin Santana away from the Blue Jays and Orioles... and when I say "snag", I mean that Santana was just waiting for the right deal for him. I guess he wasn't too jazzed about Baltimore or Toronto. Hell, I think it was reported that even the Minnesota Twins were willing to offer him 3 years. Who knows his thinking here.

Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports that the deal is done:

The #Braves have made it official with announcement they have signed Ervin Santana to a one-year deal.

1 year, $14 million. Santana will wear #30. Wow.  It's amazing how quickly these things happen.  Most of us had him going to the Orioles.  No one knows until it's done I guess.

Good luck Ervin, don't stop following us here at BYB, we like you kid.
