Twins general manager Terry Ryan said the team wants to re-sign free agent reliever Joe Nathan back and thinks Nathan wants to return to Minnesota. Ryan admitted, though, that it will depend on how much money Nathan wants. The Twins declined Nathan's $12.5 million option for 2012 and will probably only want to pay him around half that much to return. The 37-year-old struggled in the first half this season after coming back from Tommy John surgery but began to regain his form after the All-Star break, posting a 1.00 WHIP and 22/5 K/BB ratio over 23 innings.
