I admit, this is confusing.
I believed, from sources close to the situation, that not only trading Jon Lester and Jacoby Ellsbury, but signing to Johan Santana to a $130 to $150 million extension was not a probability.
The Yankees are going through the same thing. The majority of their fans want to see the kids, the really good kids, develop.
Remember, the Yankees need an ace. The Red Sox already have one.
Are the Sox just trying to up the ante for the Yankees? The Red Sox are not easy to predict.
How about this for an option? Nothing happens and Santana stays in Minnesota.
I am following this from Baltimore, where I will attend the Pats-Ravens game tonight.
Any thoughts?
