Sox Will Deal One But Not Two
According to the Boston Herald the Red Sox are willing to trade Jon Lester, Clay Buccholz, or Jacoby Ellsbury to the Twins for Johan Santana but they will not include 2 of those players together in any deal. The Twins need a center fielder but don't love Coco(can you blame them?) Theo may have to work some magic to get Santana without giving away the farm. The Yankees are pushing hard for Santana and have even talked to the Phillies about getting Aaron Rowand if they deal Melky Cabrera and Phill Hughes. The Mets are also getting more serious by potentially offering Jose Reyes in a Santana deal. I think Theo is right in not including two of the great young players in any deal; he can still get Dan Haren if Santana does not work out. That being said it would be great for the Sox to have Santana and it would be really bad if the Yankees get him.
