Buzz: Lester, Coco, no Jacoby, for Santana

In a morning update to his blog for the Star-Tribune, La Velle E. Neal III is saying that the Twins are mulling over whether to accept Jon Lester, Coco Crisp, Jed Lowrie and Justin Masterson from the Red Sox in exchange for Johan Santana.

Late last night, Gordon Edes of the Boston Globe wrote that the Sox and Twins had called it a night, after having swapped medical information for specific players, thus concluding that a deal ‘appears close,’ and could be done in the morning.

Edes and the Globe believe Boston’s final offer may be Lester, Crisp, Lowrie and Masterson, just as Neil reports this morning.

…get…it…done…already…do it…do it

…seriously, though, i’m glad i’m not a Twins fan today, because, as a fan, i’d be very, very disappointed with that return, especially given all the build-up surrounding this trade
