I only hope Yanks don't panic and offer Hughes. With the pitching talent NY has there are almost infinite combinations (excluding Hughes and Joba) of four or five Yankee prospects that would blow this Boston offer out of the water. But posters are correct -- Boston has managed to get several players on the cheap. They're also known for trading injured players. Remember Brandon Lyon? I'd be leery of trading with that gang.

With a package of Hughes, Melky plus plus. He doesn't think a deal with anyone is close and Boston would have to offer more then that deal appears to be. I will believe him before I believe that the Twins will take nothing for him. Stark on ESPN just said that he expects him to eventually go to the Yanks. With a package of Hughes, Melky plus plus.

Thats the ultimate price for not giving a crap about the fan base who are giving you a giant ATM in the form of a new stadium. If the Twins want value, they should nut up and pay Johan. They don't, though. And that they will end up trading Santana at all is a monunment to their own cheapness.
