Hot Stove Trade Talk

I'm wondering what the snag is. I'm thinking that the Sox sounded out Santana's agent about what they're willing to offer on a sign and trade, and it's not what Santana thinks he can get.

I doubt that the Twins are holding out for more than Boston's offering in players.

Maybe the Mets are dumb enough to pay his asking price. I also hear the Mariners, of all teams, might be in the market now.

In....and out pretty damn quick

Even more so, it sounds like Santana's salary demands are what the Sox are having problems with--it certainly can't be what's being offered compared to the crap the Mets have up there. Maybe that's for Santana straight-up, without a multi-year deal in place.
