Red Sox, Twins near Santana deal

[BigWeiner]

According to ESPN's Peter Gammons, the Red Sox and Twins are close to finalizing a Johan Santana trade after Boston added Ryan Kalish to the mix.
Gammons says it'd be a 5-for-1, and with Kalish in the deal, it only makes sense that the Twins would be taking Jon Lester, Coco Crisp, Jed Lowrie and Justin Masterson. If Jacoby Ellsbury was involved, the Twins probably wouldn't be asking for the additional center field prospect. Like Lowrie and Masterson, Kalish ranks comfortably among Boston's top 10 prospects. He is much further away from the majors than the others.

I don't think if the Yankees got Haren and Bedard they could beat the RedSox with Johan. Bedard and Haren could be the next Clement and Pavano in Boston and New York, but Johan doesn't have that same risk in my opinion, he'll continue to be the best pitcher in the American League for years to come. Huge move for them.

We could get Santana without parting with Ellsbury or Buchholz?

If we give up nothing from the ML roster to get him, i'll GLADLY take my chances!

No way the twins accept this deal...they are getting nothing in return

Just reported
They'll receive an asskicking when the two teams play in the regular season in addition to the overhyped prospects
