Santana updates

  • The Yankees have stated that Joba Chamberlain and Robinson Cano are untouchable, so one would assume that Philip Hughes and Melky Cabrera would be the main pieces of this deal. Jose Tabata and/or Alan Horne, another one of the Bombers' young pitchers, are other candidates who might be involved in the package. If New York does in fact deal Cabrera, they would be interested in Aaron Rowand.
  • Boston is doing everything they can to keep Clay Buchholz and Jacoby Ellsbury out of these talks. They are reportedly offering Kevin Youkilis and prospects Jed Lowrie and Brandon Moss. However, Minnesota wants Ellsbury, and if the Red Sox decide to include the young outfielder in the deal, Santana will be playing in Boston next season.
  • The Angels are trying to jump in on the Santana chase as well, and they have loads to offer including top pitching prospect Nick Adenhart. The Twins would probably also ask for Brandon Wood and another player, possibly Reggie Willits or Jeff Mathis. Ervin Santana may also be discussed.
