The Minnesota Twins and New York Yankees are in trade talks involving star pitcher Johan Santana. The Twins reportedly offered Santana a multi-year contract worth $93 million last week, but that seems to have fizzled out, and Minnesota is now shopping the two-team AL Cy Young award winner.
The Yankees would probably have to part with Philip Hughes and Melky Cabrera, and possibly more. Another candidate to be involved in a potential trade is Ian Kennedy. Both Hughes and Kennedy are two of New York's top pitching prospects, and each spent time in the majors last season.
However, the Yankees are not the only team making a big push for Santana. The Mets, Red Sox, and Dodgers are also trying to acquire the soon-to-be 29-year old left-hander, but the Bronx Bombers appear to be the frontrunners at the current time.
Santana went 15-13 with a 3.33 ERA and struck out 235 in 219 innings last season. He owns a lifetime record of 93-44 and an ERA of 3.22.
