I think Boston played it smart and did only enough to keep the Yankees from getting Santana. It's not like they
needed an ace like the Yankees or Mets (especially the Mets) did.
Boston's management shouldn't be faulted as much as Minnesota's management for thinking they can push for one more player on the table.
The Twins gambled and lost, can't fault Boston for staring them down and making them blink.
Of course, Santana putting them on a deadline didn't help things for Minnesota's management either.
