It’s not as bad as it seems.

There was a pre-arranged deal in which The Twins selected Jared Camp with their 1st pick in the Rule 5 draft, the Marlins took Santana second. They then exchanged players with the Twins also recieving $500,000. So Santana never actually put on a Marlin uniform. Oddly enough neither did Camp. I assume he didn’t make the team out of spring training and was sent back to Cleveland. I know what your question is and no I haven’t any idea why The Twins didn’t just take Santana with their first pick.
