Buzz: The Yankees need to Decide on Santana

…i can’t keep track of Johan Santana any longer…i’m dizzy…

…as of now, from what i can gather, the Yankees are the front runners, but the Twins are still holding out for a specific player…basically, if this was the NFL Draft, the Yankees would be on the clock…if they balk, and actually quit by the end of today, as they threatened to do, then it’s up to the Red Sox, who, at that point, should lose all motivation to overpay…i mean, why should the Red Sox part with all of their top prospects if they don’t have to…of course, there are a lot of people who believe that so-called deadline has been a bit overblown…

…so, if the Twins have a specific type of deal they are hoping to get, and they don’t get it, do they give up and keep him for opening day, or do they re-open talks with teams like the Mets and Mariners, who, at that point, may be able to compete again
