Big Papi Wants Santana But Doesn't Think It Will Happen

David Ortiz was interviewed at the scene of number 15 for the Pats yesterday and talked about Johan Santana. The two are good friends and Big Papi has pictures of Johan's kids in his cell phone. He doubts the Twins will send their ace to the Sox because they had already given too much to the World Champs. This is just speculation by Ortiz with no real insight on the negotiations. It is great that Santana would fit in well with some of the players on the team; this could make him accept a lower salary to go to the Red Sox.

David Ortiz is great but that was an odd comment he made on a possible Santana trade to the Red Sox. Is Ortiz implying that the Twins would want an "extra" amount in a trade to make up for past unfavorable transactions with the Red Sox? Am I reading this right? To date, the Red Sox have the best offer on the table but if the Yankees throw in Ian Kennedy then they get Santana.

Merry Christmas everyone!

It was pretty odd considering they didn't trade Ortiz they released him...""I really would have liked to deal David," Twins general manager Terry Ryan said. "But I couldn't find a taker." I still think the Twins will eventually take the Sox offer unless the Hank wants to overrule Cashman. Merry Christmas
