The Newark (N.J.) Star-Ledger reported that senior vice president Hank Steinbrenner, who had hoped to have resolution on the issue by Tuesday morning, ended the trade talks.
"[Hank Steinbrenner] closed the door on the Santana thing," a high-ranking Yankees official told the newspaper. "The Santana thing's over."
The Yankees had improved their offer to include both right-hander Phil Hughes and outfielder Melky Cabrera, and they were prepared to supplement that proposal with a mid-level prospect to acquire Santana, a left-hander who will be 29 by Opening Day and is seeking a sizable contract extension. But the Twins, who are engaged in discussions with the Red Sox and reportedly also the Angels, again requested that right-hander Ian Kennedy be included as well, a proposal the Yankees balked at.
Red sox will probably get him.

The Yankees better pray that the Red Sox do not get Santana.

It now seems that Twins are close to a deal with the Red Sox and the Yankees and Twins have not had discussions today.

The Angels have offered Jered Weaver and Brandon Wood. But the Red Sox still appear to be frontrunners.

Jacoby Ellsbury and Jon Lester are a possibility. Boston says that they will not trade both, but if they want to get Santana then they are going to have to. Go Twins!

Latest news is that the TWINS are "crystallizing" a deal with the RED SOX. There should be an announcement tonight.
We'll see though.

The Yankees are unsure about it now because Andy Pettite said he would return and play next year.
