According to a post for the Boston Globe, Gordon Edes writes that the Red Sox may be becoming ‘ambivalent,’ and, at this point, there is as good of a chance that Santana gets traded to the Red Sox, as there is that he will not be traded to the Red Sox.

In the Daily News, Bill Madden writes that the return of Andy Pettitte for 2008 has all but eliminated the Yankees from trying to acquire Santana.
According to Madden, “In the end, Cashman prevailed, convincing Hank and Hal Steinbrenner of something he could never have done with their dad – that trading for Johan Santana was simply too expensive for the New York Yankees.”

According to Jerry Crasnick, at ESPN.com, the Red Sox are the only team ‘publicly linked’ to Santana.
Meanwhile, this morning on ESPN Radio’s Mike and Mike, ESPN.com’s Buster Olney said that Twins may be leaning towards keeping Santana.
