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.
