Theo Speaks

Theo held a conference call with reporters today to prepare for the Winter Meetings that start on Monday in the Music City. He did not say anything about Santana other than: "Just because we're focused on those two elements of the club (bullpen and bench) doesn't mean we're not going to look at other opportunities to get better...we'll see if anything presents itself and we'll be aggressive as we usually are." He said the team would continue to negotiate up until the winter meetings but he did not think any news would come out before Monday. Read into it what you want but he didn't give us any more to go on with Santana. It looks like the Sox and Yankees are still negotiating and Theo does not want to show his cards just yet, which is normal for a GM. I wouldn't want him to do it any other way but it would be nice to know what's going on.
