Due to the fact that the Red Sox are taking too long to make the trade for Johan Santana? Now when I say pull a Tigers move I'm speaking in regards to the fact that the Tigers snagged Miguel Cabrera away from the Angels as the Angels took too long to make the move with the Marlins.

I hope not. I'm thinking the Kiddie Corp of Hughes, Kennedy and Chamberlain will be coming into their own next year. If you tell them that you think theyre the answer they will get much more confidence then if you trade one or two for Johan to the Twinkies.

The Tigers didn't "steal" anyone away from the Angels. The Angels put together a very good package for Cabrera, and the Marlins essentially spit in their faces and said, "Yeah right, you can do better." Don't be fooled. The Marlins have some of the best scouts in MLB, and they know exactly what they're getting from the Tigers. They'll have two major league ready players for next season, and probably at least 2 of the other 4 will be pro by 2009.
To answer your question though, I really don't see the Yankees swooping in for Santana. I'm sure they're rooting for him to end up with an NL team (Mets, Dodgers, or D-Backs), but they're negotiating has hit the skids, while other teams are still putting forth the effort to acquire him. I'd say the odds favor Boston right now, but there hasn't been word of a possible package from any of the NL teams, so stay tuned.

On Monday Hank Steinbrenner set a deadline for the Twins to accept their deal. They said they would be out of the Santana sweepstakes after that. But who really knows since they said they would not deal with A-Rod. I think Santana will go to the Red Sox.

the only reason the bosox even acted interested in santana was so they could scare the daylights out of the yankees and try to get them to scramble and offer something rediculos that would only end up hurting in the long run. the only team interested in him are the yanks. the bosox dont need him or want him, they have dice k and becket and pap. they have the top mlb staff and a ton money tied up in it. they were never interested in him. and yed this is the truth, the bosox were just playing defense

I hope the Tigers step in on this one too, that would be awesome..I don't think the Yankees will land Santana, it would seem like San Fran might move in..

Don't be so sure that the Red Sox haven't already come to terms with the Twins and the delay we're seeing is due to the contract negotiations with Santana. If the Sox don't get Santana in a multi-year contract, they won't give away valuable prospects and they won't press release anything until a complete deal is solidified.

Wont happen unless the Spanks are willing to give up Hughes & Kennedy & if they were smart that wouldnt happen, so either the Sox will get Johan or he stays in Twinky land

I don't hink the Red Sux (Sox) or Yankees, not the Spanks as someone stated. I can't see either team giving up too much young talent for him. My own opinion..

Both the Red Sox and the Yankees are not talking to the Twins at this time and the door is actually opened for the Mets to "pull a Tigers more" to use your reference.

Santana stays put because Minnesota is simply asking for too damn much in return.
