The Twins GM is an idiot. From what I heard, Ellsbury and Lester were still on the table from the Red Sox. The Yankees did pull Hughes from a deal but even without Hughes, it was a better deal than what they got from the Mets. To say that Boston doesn't need Santana is a bit of a stretch. You can never have too much great starting pitching, especially when Schill and Wakefield are big question marks in the upcoming year.
Now that the Santana trade is done, CC will be signed and the Bedard deal should move along in a week or less.

KC has some on field talent, the question is do they have the talent in the management and ownership fields.
Yeah, I think maybe the Twins GM just wanted to get Santana gone because of the distraction and perhaps, he just wanted to make sure Santana was in the NL and not somewhere in the AL where he could comeback and haunt them. Also, I still also think that there maybe more to all this than we on the outside see and hear, Santana could be damaged goods.
I can see Bedard being dealt now that a price has been set. For CC I think it'll still be the Mets signing of Santana that will set his price in Cleveland.
