TwinCities.com's Shooter Charley Walters reports that the Boston Red Sox are now in the lead for Santana's signature, despite refusing to include Jacoby Ellsbury in the trade. The package for Santana includes Coco Crisp, Jed Lowry, Jon Lester and Justin Masterson.
The Twins' free agent Carlos Silva is also mulling over offers from the Tigers, Mets, Phillies and Royals. Both pitchers will be celebrating impending moves at Silva's wedding in Venezuela this weekend.
And a reason why clubs are throwing cash around on players this off-season is due to potential per-club revenue from online media properties possibly reaching $25 million. The revenue generated by the MLB this year alone has reached $6 billion and further growth is expected.
