Santana

The older threads seem to have been bogged down and then fizzled out. Given Yesterday and last night's developments, it seems a new thread would be necessary.

To sum up:
Last night the Yanks and Twins seemed to be negotiating exclusively and there were some reports that a deal was close, with a Hank Steinbrenner imposed deadline of midnight in place.

The Yanks were unwilling to include both Kennedy and Hughes in their offers.

Late last night (not long after midnight), talks between the Yankees and Twins died.

Somewhat surprisingly to some people, the Red Sox stepped in and resumed negotiations. I say surprisingly because a lot of people seemed to believe the Sox were in this only to drive up the price on the Yankees. (As if they wouldn't actually WANT the best pitcher in baseball).

Several packages were reported, but it now looks like Lester, Crisp, Masterson and Lowrie is the deal on the table.

Talks reached the point where the two teams have exchanged medical reports on Santana and Lester before turning in for the evening.

I'm still catching up myself, so feel free to correct anything in here that isn't correct.
