Read: Fernando vs. Ellsbury
In his recent Rumblings & Grumblings column for ESPN.com, Jayson Stark writes that Mets OF Fernando Martinez has more upside than Red Sox OF 
Jacoby Ellsbury, according to an ‘AL front-office man,’ and so the Mets can certainly put together a package that would be ‘attractive to the Twins.’
…i have lost the links, but i had checked in with a few Twins blogs to see their side of this discussion, and i recall reading how most of them were quite fond of the Mets prospects – it didn’t read as though they preferred any one package to another, be it from the Mets, Yankees or Red Sox…
Stark quotes another AL Executive, who still believes Santana will eventually end up on the Yankees, as saying…
“The Twins are doing the right thing, waiting for the right deal. But the Red Sox don’t need to panic. They don’t need him. There’s no reason for them to get anxious. But the Yankees actually do need him. They’re just trying to convince themselves they don’t.”
…stark alludes to it, but the sense i get is that it’s not so much that the Yankees refuse to include both hughes and Ian Kennedy in the same deal, it’s that the Yankees refuse to trade hughes…period…
