He does have a no-trade clause.
I agree, but it sounds like Boston might pull of the deal for less than the Yanks offered. It will be interesting to watch.
I think I already mentioned, I am hoping the Twins just play him out in 2008 along with Nathan. The Yanks free up $80m+ at the end of the season and will need one starter and one CF or RF and maybe 1B. That is a lot of money to sign Santana and maybe 2 others.

So you’re openly rooting for the Yankees to wait for free agency, and then just overpay and buy Santana in the open market?
Pretty much, yes, that would be correct, it is how the sport works, sorry for the honesty, why do you have a problem with that?
Jim
No, just making sure I’ve got you right.
Also I’m writing it in my journal for future references.
What, did I live up to your expectations of a Yankee Fan?
Heh. And the Mets fans are being awfully quiet … [slinks away]
Hang in there… a couple of sources are reporting that the Mets are trying to get back in on this Santana thing. Which would be awesome.
You haven’t disappointed me yet, young one.
I should insert a smiley here to indicate that I’m messing around with you, by the way.
See, the Mets need a Santana. His stats could be even better in the other league.
