Now all that's left if the Twins accept this, (I'm sure) is the Yanks getting a window to negotiate a long-term deal with Santana.

I really want to see how much he gets. Do you think it could rival the contract of A-Rod. If pitching wins championships, they should pay him as well.

lol, nobody will get a contract similar to ARod. But Santana should get paid quite nicely. I haven't read anything about potential contract figures but I assume he'll get a deal similar to Barry Zito's deal.

Now the Twins and Yanks have come to a stalemate in trying to find a 3rd player in the deal. Reportedly the Yankees consider Alan Horne, Ian Kennedy and Austin Jackson untouchable right now. So right now it's Phil Hughes and Melky Cabrera. Twins want one more player.

The Yanks may turn to Dan Haren this week if they can't pull off the trade for Santana.
