The Yankees have pulled out of the Johan Santana sweepstakes by pulling Phillip Hughes off the table. This just leaves the Mets and Red Sox as the only two serious contenders for him.
Personally, I think the Twins are asking too much for him, last report I got is that they wanted Minaya to give up seven minor league prospects for him. Way too much to give up, especially for a guy that's entering the final year of his contract.

Cameron originally envisioned the Terminator as a small, unremarkable man, giving it the ability to blend in more easily. As a result, his first choice for the part was Lance Henriksen. O. J. Simpson was on the shortlist but Cameron did not think that such a nice guy could be a ruthless killer.
