It's becoming very clear that the New York Yankees are the team Minnesota wants to send Johan Santana to the most. Despite the Red Sox offering up Jon Lester, Coco Crisp, Jed Lowrie, and Justin Masterson, the Twins keep coming back to the Bronx Bombers.
Originally, Minnesota was asking for Philip Hughes, Melky Cabrera, and Ian Kennedy from New York. Now, they are trying to make a deal with the Yankees that does not include Kennedy. Instead, the Twins may ask for right-handed pitching prospect Jeff Marquez or possibly Alan Horne, but I can't see New York parting with the latter.
Boston is still refusing to include Jacoby Ellsbury or Clay Buchholz in any of their offers, so it's safe to say that they're all but out of the running for Santana's services. It looks like David Ortiz was right in saying the 29-year old superstar is not going to New England.
