Quote: Still a Chance Yankees get Santana
Yankees senior vice president Hank Steinbrenner, talking about Twins LHP 
Johan Santana, as quoted by Newsday…
“There’s still an outside chance that we get him. We’ll see…I think myself and Brian are going back and forth. I think we’re comfortable staying where we are, and I certainly think we’d be comfortable getting Santana, too…The decision is my decision.”
…every time i read a public statement from hank, i swear i hear Brian Cashman rolling his eyes…seriously, this has to drive cashman crazy…
By the way, after talking with ‘several people,’ La Velle E. Neal III at his blog for the Star-Tribune writes that nothing is close regarding a trade of Santana.
In fact, he explains, ‘One person told me that nothing has happened since the end of the winter meetings.’
…as i wrote yesterday, i have talked to some people who believe that the Mets and Twins have not talked in weeks, while others believe they have…my sense is that things are quiet, though this may have more to do with family issues involving team officials and agents than it does with a break-down in talks…
…thanks to Peter Wade, our resident eyes and ears, for the link…
