The Minnesota Twins declined a $12.5 million option on reliever Joe Nathan’s contract and still may bring their all-times saves leader back next season, General Manager Bill Smith said.
Nathan, 36, will become a free agent when the Twins exercise a $2 million buyout in his contract, the team said on its website. Smith said he’s spoken with Nathan and his agent about signing him to a new deal.
