Because $47 million is considerably less than $157 million.

I questioned why the Twins were willing to spend so much on a closer when they let the best pitcher in baseball walk. Mathias’ explanation that with a less than stellar starting rotation the Twins will need an excellent bullpen makes sense to me.

Turns out he is the richest closer in baseball. And rightly so, since he's the best one.

Yes, good move by the Twins.

Yes, good move by the Twins. Nathan is one of the best in the game.

The Twins bullpen should be strong again.

Twins make right decision about Nathan

The Minnesota Twins made the right decision about Joe Nathan, locking him up through 2011. I, for one, am breathing a sigh of relief. The young rotation will need a solid bullpen behind it, including closer Nathan.

Although the terms of the contract weren't announced today, Nathan might just be the richest closer in baseball.
