Santana Likely To End Up With Yankees

Earlier in the day, Buster Olney reported that the Yankees had agreed to include Phil Hughes in the Santana trade, and made it official. He also noted that the Twins would have another round of talks with the Red Sox, but that appears to have gone nowhere with Boston still insisting on Coco Crisp instead of Jacoby Ellsbury.

La Velle E. Neal III mentioned that Ian Kennedy would be included in the Yankees' offer. However, Jon Heyman disagreed and claimed the third player will not be from any of Kennedy, Alan Horne or Jose Tabata.

Ken Rosenthal is the latest to add to the mill. The Twins are apparently making additional demands of either Alberto Gonzalez or Alan Horne as the third player. It would be interesting to see if the Yankees relent to it as Phil Hughes had already been thrown in for good measure.

All the movement has been from the Yankees camp. The Red Sox have not budged from day one and Dan Haren would be a better bet to end up at Fenway.
