Its A Win-Win Situation For Boston

If you wake up tomorrow and read the Globe and the headlines tell you the best pitcher in baseball is coming to the Sox you are going to be thrilled. Even if they had to give up Buchholz or Ellsbury they will be a better team than last year. To be honest, how much value did you give to Buchholz or Ellsbury last May compared to Santana. But lets say this doesn't happen and the Yankees get Santana. They will have given up a great deal of young talent for a pitcher who's numbers were down last season and their payroll will continue to be far above every other team. When they lose to Boston next year it will be that much better, especially when Ellsbury wins Rookie of the Year. It is easy to spin the Santana deal any way but no matter how it turns out the Red Sox will be ok. And the Haren sweepstakes will be just starting.
