Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports that the Twins were among "a few teams" in attendance at Johan Santana's bullpen session Tuesday in Fort Myers, Florida.

Santana appeared pleased with how things went, as he wrote on his Twitter account that "today was a very good day off the mound" and that he's "getting better." The southpaw isn't expected to be ready to return to the majors until late May or June and will likely have to settle for a minor league contract.

Jon Heyman of CBS Sports reports that at least three American League teams are showing interest in free agent southpaw Johan Santana.

Santana has been throwing bullpen sessions on his own, and is currently targeting a June return to the big leagues. The Twins have maintained steady interest throughout the offseason, but it's unclear at the moment who the other two interested parties may be.

La Velle E. Neal III of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune reports that the Twins remain interested in a reunion with free agent left-hander Johan Santana.

Chris Cotillo of MLBDailyDish.com reports that Johan Santana (shoulder) is "feeling better than expected" so far in his rehab.

It jibes with recent progress updates on the left-hander, as Santana began throwing off a mound last week and will reportedly audition for interested teams soon. The southpaw is coming back from surgery to repair a re-tear of his shoulder capsule, an operation that was performed last April.

Darren Wolfson of 1500 ESPN reports that Johan Santana (shoulder) will throw a bullpen session for scouts of interested teams in the near future.

While a date hasn't been set, it was announced on Friday that Santana would begin throwing off a mound this week, and appears to be ahead of schedule in his recovery to repair a torn capsule in his left shoulder. The Twins are one team that would surely be on hand for that session.

Johan Santana (shoulder) began throwing off a mound this week.

Santana revealed the news himself on Twitter, adding that he feels "great." The veteran left-hander is coming back from a second surgery to repair a re-tear of his shoulder capsule and it's uncertain when he'll be game-ready. Twins general manager Terry Ryan indicated last month that Santana wouldn't be ready to pitch until midseason, but the fact that he's already throwing off a mound suggests he could beat that timetable. The Twins and Yankees are two clubs known to be monitoring Santana's progress.

Twins general manager Terry Ryan revealed at TwinsFest on Sunday that Johan Santana (shoulder) isn't expected to be game-ready until midseason.

The feeling had been that Santana could be ready to go for spring training following surgery last April to repair a re-tear of his shoulder capsule. The news shouldn't come as much of a surprise, though, given that it took the lefty 19 months to return from his first shoulder operation. Ryan added that the Twins are still "keeping an eye" on Santana and that it seems like a "good fit for both of us." The Yankees are one of a handful of other clubs monitoring Santana's progress.

Andy McCullough of the Newark Star-Ledger reports that the Yankees are one of several teams monitoring Johan Santana's progress.

It's no secret that the Yankees' top target is Masahiro Tanaka (and McCullough says they might have already met with Tanaka and his representative, Casey Close), but they're keeping tabs on other options, as well. Santana, who is coming back from a second major shoulder surgery, is also drawing interest from his former team, the Twins.

According to Andy Martino of the New York Daily News, a reunion between Johan Santana and the Twins remains a very real possibility.

While the Twins haven't made the 34-year-old left-hander a formal contract offer, they continue to discuss the idea internally and have remained in contact with his representatives. Santana, who currently recovering from a second major shoulder surgery, has attracted interest from several teams this winter but will likely have to settle for an incentive-laden minor league deal.

Darren Wolfson of 1500 ESPN reports that free agent Johan Santana is mulling over multiple minor league deals, but the Twins are not one of the teams that have made an offer.

The Twins remain interested in a reunion with Santana, but are not one of the multiple teams that have formally made him an offer. The Astros, Pirates, Yankees, Rays, Orioles and Brewers are all known to have varying levels of interest in the 34-year-old southpaw.

Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe reports that Johan Santana is close to making a decision on a minor league deal.

It's not clear which team he's leaning towards signing with, but Cafardo notes that there's "some speculation" it could be the Twins and that the Astros "could also have some interest." The Pirates, Yankees, Rays, Orioles and Brewers have also been linked to Santana this offseason. The veteran southpaw is coming back from a second surgery to repair a re-tear of his shoulder capsule but expects to be ready to go for spring training.

Red Sox general manager Ben Cherington said Wednesday that the club is not interested in signing Johan Santana.

Cherington said he looked into the possibility, but there's no match to be found. Santana is drawing interest from several teams, including the Pirates, Mets, Yankees, Twins, Rays, Orioles, Royals and Brewers, so he shouldn't have any trouble finding a home. Coming off another major shoulder surgery, he'll likely sign an incentive-laden deal.

Travis Sawchik of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports that the Pirates have requested the medicals of free agent left-hander Johan Santana.

The two sides are expected to meet on Wednesday at the Winter Meetings. Santana has also been drawing attention from the Mets, Yankees, Twins, Rays, Orioles, Royals and Brewers. The veteran starter underwent shoulder surgery in April, missed all of the 2013 season, and he will be 35 years old when the 2014 campaign begins. However he's an obvious high-reward candidate for a lot of teams seeking rotation depth.

ESPN New York's Andrew Marchand says there are eight teams with interest in free agent Johan Santana.

The Mets, Yankees, Twins, Rays, Orioles, Royals, Brewers and Pirates are believed to be the eight. Santana is coming off major shoulder surgery and missed the entire 2013 season, but he's only 34 years old and may have some miles left in the tank. He seems likely to sign a one-year, incentives-driven contract this winter.

The Mets asked if they were free agent left-hander Johan Santana's top choice, but were told that it's too early in the process to know.

At least seven teams are interested in Santana, according to Mike Puma of the New York Post. That number is probably coming from Santana's agent, Chris Leible, who said on Sunday that "seven or eight" teams had reached out to his client. Santana is coming off surgery to repair a re-tear of the capsule in his left shoulder. The veteran southpaw will surely have to settle for a one-year, incentive-laden deal.

CBS Sports' Jon Heyman reports that the Mets and Orioles are among "many teams" who have expressed interest in free agent left-hander Johan Santana.

Santana's agent, Chris Leible, said Sunday that "seven or eight" teams had reached out about his client. The 34-year-old is coming off surgery to repair a re-tear of the capsule in his left shoulder, but he's aiming to pitch in 2014.

Johan Santana's agent, Chris Leible, said that "seven or eight" teams have reached out to express interest in his client.

The Mets are one of those clubs, but it sounds like they'll have some competition. Santana is coming back from a second surgery to repair a re-tear of his shoulder capsule in April, but he expects to be ready to go for spring training. The veteran lefty will surely have to settle for a one-year, incentive-laden deal.

Johan Santana (shoulder) is currently throwing from a distance of 90 feet.

Santana underwent a second surgery to repair a re-tear of his shoulder capsule in April, but his agent, Chris Leible, says that his shoulder feels "way better." Still, teams might want to see him throw before signing him to a contract, so there's no clear timetable for a deal. A reunion with the Twins has been mentioned as a possibility.

LaVelle E. Neal III of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune reports that the Twins are "one of several teams" that have asked to look at Johan Santana's (shoulder) medical information.

Santana underwent a second surgery to repair a re-tear of his shoulder capsule in April. The lefty's agent, Ed Greenberg, said doctors took a different approach to stitching the capsule this time and so far his shoulder is holding steady. Santana, who, of course, played his first eight seasons with the Twins, is throwing on flat ground from 90 feet and "feeling good," according to Greenberg. "Johan still loves Minnesota," Greenberg said. "It has created an interesting option for him. But it is in the early stages, and a lot of teams have contacted us." Neal notes that the Twins have also expressed interest in Ervin Santana, Dan Haren, Scott Feldman and Ricky Nolasco.

According to ESPN New York's Adam Rubin, Johan Santana is unlikely to sign with a team until late-winter.

The free agent starter underwent surgery in April to repair a re-tear of the anterior capsule in his left shoulder and is still recovering from that procedure. Santana is currently throwing on flat ground from 90 feet and will likely begin showcasing himself for major league teams in a month. The Royals are known to have some level of interest.
