Tim Brown at Yahoo! Sports is reporting that the Red Sox have ‘reaffirmed their status’ as the favorites to acquire Johan Santana,’ despite the parameters of the trade not changing.
…so by not changing their offer they ‘reaffirmed their status’ as favorites…umm, ok…
Brown goes on to mention the Mariners, writing…
‘Seattle briefly emerged as a candidate, center fielder Adam Jones and pitcher Brandon Morrow the main chips in the Mariners’ offer, but talks there have stagnated, as they did with the Los Angeles Angels.’
…i’m not really buying into the Mariners as a serious candidate for santana right now, but it should be noted the Mets were not mentioned by brown at all…
