Santana sweepstakes drawing to a close?

• The Yankees are still the top dogs in the chase, but are very reluctant to offer Philip Hughes. They are currently offering Minnesota a package including Ian Kennedy and Melky Cabrera, but the Twins would prefer Hughes to Kennedy.
  
• Boston is giving the Yankees a run for their money, but they are still refusing to include Jacoby Ellsbury in any deal and will not budge on Clay Buchholz. They will, however, to send Jon Lester Minnesota's way along with some prospects, namely Brandon Moss, Jed Lowrie, and pitchers Michael Bowden and Justin Masterson. Obviously all four would not go in the trade, but I would assume at least two would have to be dealt.
