Santiago's been pretty consistent of late, and I know he loved playing for the Angels. He's a patriot who'll be sorely missed.
And Nolasco? Is he any good? I have no idea.
At the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, "Twins trade Ricky Nolasco and Alex Meyer to Angels for Hector Santiago."
And the O.C. Register's Jeff Fletcher has some quick analysis on Twitter. The Angels look like they just wanted to do something before the trade deadline.
Santiago and busenitz to twins. Nolasco and Meyer reportedly back.

On the Twins deal, Angels basically exchanged one back end starter for another back end starter, plus a 0-3 upside starter. Simple.

Also, Nolasco has an option, so possibly one more year of control than Santiago.

Confirmed Angels are getting cash from the Twins to cover the difference between Santiago and Nolasco's salaries, so no luxury tax hit in 16

If Angels had traded for Santiago for prospects only, they'd need to go get a "Nolasco type" on FA market just to fill rotation
