MLB - Yankees on the run to acquire Santana

 

Even though most big names are already taken, there are still a few options GM’s are likely to consider for their teams, this is the case of left-handed starting pitcher Johan Santana who’s possible next home is going to be the New York Yankees.

Santana who holds a 93-44 record with a 3.22 ERA in eight major league seasons, is expecting a juicy contract with a possible extension if he gets signed by the New Yorkers.

Whoever gets him could be the favorite to win the East and The Yankees are not Santana’s only option, the Red Sox have also set their eyes on the two-time Cy Young award winner, but negotiations with the team from the Bronx are far more advanced and it’s quite possible that a trade is going to take place, The Twins would like to acquire one of the “Big Three” pitchers from The Yankees (possibly Phil Hughes) and Melky Cabrera , JoseTabata completing the list of transfers.

Yankees senior vice presidents Hank Steinbrenner have stated that discussions are ongoing but he said that it is too early to give the trade as a fact.

"I don't want to get into that at this point, as far as what they want, what we're willing to give and all that," he said. "It's preliminary right now." Steinbrenner said.

For now these are all just rumors (but strong ones), the truth will be revealed next week when the MLB’s Winter Meetings takes place at the Opryland Resort in Nashville, Tennessee, and Brian Cashman (Yankees General Manager) is ready for an early celebration.
