MASN's Roch Kubatko reports that the Orioles are nearing a minor league contract with Johan Santana. Santana was in Orioles camp on Monday working out the details. He topped out at 81 mph during a throwing session for teams last Tuesday, so the O's will likely keep him at extended spring training when they head north for the regular season and hope he can become a valuable asset at some point during the summer. Santana, 34, is recovering from a second major shoulder surgery.
