(Baseball's best pitcher should be a Yankee or Red Sox by the end of next week.)

Ladies and Gentleman, Boys and Girls, Santana is moving to a East Coast City near you, and it isn't the world renown guitarist either. The Minnesota Twins are getting right to business, unlike the Florida Marlins front office, who has continued to tease teams interested in Miguel Cabrera It has been stated that within 72 hours, Starting Pitcher Johan Santana will have a new home either in Boston or New York. Now that Boston has been so willing to add Youngster Jacoby Ellsbury into the mix, It looks like the favored has to be the Sox, even though they have stated that Jon Lester will not be packaged in the deal. The Yankees on the other hand, are doing what they can to lock up baseball's best pitcher because their pitching needs all the help it can get. Out of disparity the yanks threw young pitcher Phil Hughes with Melky Cabrera and a third "second tier" prospect. The Yanks want answers though, and if they don't here an answer by Tuesday, they will pull out. Though grabbing Santana would make the best rotation in the league, and possibly of all time, The price paid isn't worth it..... Even though they would be keeping the Lefty away from that Evil Empire in New York. Listen up Theo, You don't want to make this move.

First and Foremost, lets look at this over the long haul. Sure, you will lose the likes of Schilling and most likely Tim Wakefield after '08, but there is a surplus of free agents that will hit the Market, headlining is Cy Young winner C.C. Sabathia. Why not wait and hold on to that talent? Plus, shouldn't you have Mike Lowell on the mind, the World Series MVP that was just as pivotal as Big Papi and Manny down the stretch, plus Jacoby Ellsbury has become and American star, instantly, after stealing a base in the World Series, and winning Americans a Free Taco! On a serious note though, Ellsbury could be that lead-off spark that was missing, and trust me, Coco is not the answer any more. Ellsbury, along with Dustin Pedroia, Jon Lester, Manny Declareman and the rest of the young talent could win you a lot more games then Santana. So Mr. Epstein, If I may say so myself, don't trade away Mr. Steal a Base for a Taco. It isn't in the right interest. We can do with out the cereal (Coco Crisp) but please don't take away the main course.
