It's hard to believe the Twins won't trade Santana even if it's just a trade deadline deal.
If Santana is traded before the 2008 season, then it will definitely come with a 4-7 year extension. If it happens mid-season, it's not as clear.
I'm sure the Twins would want the team to sign Santana to the extension. That would help them get a better deal.

why would santana agree to this? he gets much better money in the offseason as a FA.

Obviously, Santana isn't going to sign a deal for less than maket value.
Plenty of player sign long term deals without actually becoming free agents. If Santana gets a good deal, why wouldn't he do it?

He also gains the EV he could lose by getting hurt if he signs sooner rather than later.
