Wow! I didn't know the Reds had, at one point earlier this year, talked with the Twins about Span

Another interesting article on Span (and the Twins)....

He's signed through 2014 (13:$4.75M, 14:$6.5M), with a club option for 2015 ($9M).
The Twins have depth in the OF position within their system. They're hurting for starting pitching. What could we offer them that may be appealing to them?
A deal like this would be great IMO. You've got him signed through 2014, which coincides with Hamilton's projected entrance. It fills a need, and buys you some time at no great cost. And if nothing else, could he be moved to LF?
