  <body>&lt;p&gt;Right-hander &lt;strong&gt;Ervin Santana&lt;/strong&gt; has signed a four-year, $30 million deal with the Angels, SI.com has learned.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The deal also includes an option year that would bump the contract's value to $42 million if it is picked up, as first reported by WFAN's Sweeny Murti.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Santana, who avoided arbitration with the extension, is a key part of one of baseball's best young rotations, if not its best rotation. The Angels surely would like to get ace &lt;strong&gt;John Lackey&lt;/strong&gt; signed to an extension, as well.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Santana, 26, went 16-7 with a 3.49 ERA last year, &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;striking out a career-high 214 in 219 innings with only 47 walks, &lt;/span&gt;when he made the All-Star team and executed a terrific comeback. He is 51-37 lifetime, all with the Angels.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</body>
