You can never replace a talent like Santana, but they would not be hurting in pitching. They still have Liriano coming back as some have stated, and they have two great young arms, Slowey and Garza. If they can get a good trade value for him, I would do it because they will never be able to sign him later.

I would do that in a hearbeat, but the Twins would never do it.

If the Twins are going to trade Santana to the Yankees, Phillip Hughes would have to be in the deal.

I think the Yankees should not trade for him. They could always sign him as a free agent next year.

With the Yankees, it would probably take a package including Robinson Cano and one of their pitchers as the top guys.

MLBTradeRumors has a pretty interesting rumor at their site. According to one source, the Yankees discussed internally about potentially going after Johan Santana.

MLBTR says specifically a packagae of SP Chien Ming Wang, SP Ian Kennedy and CF Melky Cabrera may be offered.

Would the Yankees deal Wang? I guess part of me would be surprised to see that go down.

To get Santana, I think they would. Wang is a good pitcher, how can they pass on Santana.

Here is one I heard from Yahoo Sports. Reyes to the Twins and Santana to the Mets. In which case the Mets would likely sign A-
Rod

The Associated Press has confirmed that the Twins and Yankees are discussing a deal that would send Santana to New York, but, "Yankees senior vice president Hank Steinbrenner said Monday that discussions are ongoing but it was too early to tell whether they would lead to a deal. He did not detail how far talks had progressed." Ugh. Anywhere but the Bronx, please!

It wouldn't be cheap for any team to get him so trust that the Yanks would pay (players & money).

I'm not so sure Santana will be moved though.

[EmpireWF]

The latest is Johan Santana limiting his potential teams to the Yankees and Red Sox. He reportedly said he would only accept a trade to either of the two.

Expect a deal to get done within the next day.

As a Sox fan I suppose we could make room for him if we had to.

lol, you make it sound as if it would be a chore.

Boston apparently doesn't want him, or else they would sweeten their pot. I guess they could go after Haren though.

I'm sure Theo and I look at the roster in two different lights. I'd go after him with some caution as to who I have to give up. I'm not sure that money is the biggest obstacle for Boston anymore ... Finally.

I see where you're coming from on this, LSC. You guys are the world champs. Don't gut the team to get one pitcher, no matter how good he is.

The Mets have made an offer of pitchers Deolis Guerra, Phil Humber, and Kevin Mulvey, and outfielder Carlos Gomez. Reportedly, the Twins told them if they added outfielder Fernando Martinez to the deal, they would do it.
