Let's both hope that Haren goes to Arizona and not the skanks. Of course Bedard is still on the table, but the Oreo's seem to think they can get a Santana type deal out of him.
Most teams are waiting for the Santana deal to go through so they can see what the price is. They figure if Santana gets dealt to Boston and gets and extension right away at his asking price, then, with the #1 gone, they can up their prices. It's all a bit silly but I guess that's how the big machine rolls.
As far as ending up with a Lester, Ellsbury deal.. I just don't see it happening. The Twins aren't demanding both. They know that they can use CoCo or Ellsbury. They are more interested in what pitchers they get at this point. Even if a Lester, Ellsbury trade is made, then Theo can still shop CoCo around, because he would have to pull some of the prospects from the Twins deal. The two prospects that are in the Lester deal are monster prospects (much like the Marlins got yesterday) so it's really not a bad move at all for Minnesota to go with Lester, CoCo.
Theo is also shopping around for bullpen help. That's what I'm really interested in seeing..
