Quote: Ortiz Doesn’t See Santana on Sox

According to David Ortiz, the Twins do not want to trade Johan Santana to the Red Sox, reports the Boston Herald.

Of course, Ortiz once said the following to the Boston Globe, back in 2004, regarding Pedro Martinez

“He ain’t going to no Mets.”

Meanwhile yesterday the Globe reported that the Red Sox are not budging from their their offer of Coco Crisp, Jon Lester, Justin Masterson, and Jed Lowrie for Santana, who the Sox may consider giving a seven-year deal to.

…from what i can gather, from people connected to santana, he still prefers to pitch in the National League, and specifically with the Mets…the thing is, from his point of view, a deal is a long ways off since he has never been approached with a potential trade to any team, nor have contract terms been specifically discussed
