Watch: ESPN’s Stark on Santana, Hot Stove
In a recent web-video clip from ESPN, which you can watch below, ESPN.com’s Jayson Stark reports that the Twins are taking ‘a hard line,’ and if they do not get at least ‘two, young, star-caliber players’ in exchange for Johan Santana, ‘they’ll keep him and try to win with him next season,’
According to Stark, the Red Sox and Yankees are the only two teams ‘willing and able’ to meet that price, though they would still rather not trade Phil Hughes or Jacoby Ellsbury.
Instead, the Yankees continue to push Ian Kennedy, Melky Cabrera and maybe Jose Tabata, writes the New York Times, while the Red Sox would rather trade Coco Crisp.
Stark continues on to explain how the Santana Market is holding up potential deals for other super-star players around the game.
