Don't be fooled. Everyone isn't out of the Santana talks. Rumors are still there that the Angels want him. They just lost out on Cabrera.. so Santana would be a nice consolation prize. Also, it wouldn't surprise me to see the Yankees contact the Twins one last time. Since when does the Steinbrenner family bow down to the Red Sox? Supposedly the Yanks are also interested in Dan Heron.. but so is Arizona.
I don't think it's the fact that the Minnesota GM asked for too much.. I think it's just that the Yankees tried to flex their muscles thinking they had the best package and it just wasn't there. The only team that could match the Red Sox offers in the AL would be.. the Angels. As of right now it looks like the Twins are interested in package A from Boston which is the Lester, CoCo deal. Basically, it all comes down to what the Boston brass shows up with today (there's a rumor that Minnesota said to get it done today) and what counter offer if any the Angels can come up with.
