Unfortunately the New York Yankees have a better deal with all the money. Phllip Hughes and Melky Cabrera, and two huge prospects.

The Yankees were willing to give up the best pitching prospect in baseball, a cannon arm in centerfield and a mid level farm hand. The Red Sox were putting up Coco Crisp, and three or four prospects for Santana. You decide which offer is better. Shouldn't take long....... I'll wait!!!........ This is a prime example on how the baseball world treats the Yankees and how much they are willing to screw us up. The Twins had no intention on trading Santana to the Yankees, which was obvious once Phil Hughes was added to the deal. What did the Twins want then??? Ian Kennedy and some more top prospects. If they settle for Boston's deal, it will not make them better, only in last place and stupid!!!! Jerks!!

I think the Twins management has to think the Sox offer is better if they include Ellsbury. He looks, to me, that he will be the better CF overall, with Cabrera having the better arm. If the Sox are trying to give them Crisp, Lester, Masterson, and Lowrie, I can't see the Red Sox with Santana. Lester and Hughes are comparable talent wise, and the 2 prospects are just that, prospects.
I would still look out for the Dodgers to jump into this. They have talent in the minors, more so than either the Sox or the Yanks.

I hope the angels get Santana. I think the sox are in it only to keep him from going to the yankees. We're coming back next year with the same pitching staff (for the most part). and still have a ton of pitching depth in our minors. I can see losing coco, but they should stop shopping their top minor leaguers for high priced players.

The Yankees. The Red Sox are trying to get Santana to keep him off the Yankees. The Twins want Ian Kennedy too, but they're not going to get him. So they might just deal with the Sox.

As a Twin's fan I'm hoping for the Boston trade. With Torii gone we could use Coco Crisp (even if we did get a decent center fielder from the Angels) and I would hate to see Santana as a Yankee.

how can you people seriously say the Yanks. Philip Hughes is nice but Melky Cabrera isn't nearly as good as what Ellsbury will become. I can't believe the Yanks low-balled their offer for the best pitcher in the league.

The Yankees have a better offer in. Red Sox are trying to rip off the Twins by giving them average young talent for the best pitcher in the game compared to NY giving actual TALENT for him.

Boston because the Yankees have said their offer is off the table...although now the Angels are back in the mix for Santana.
